      Donald Trump: If I wouldn't have social media, I couldn't get the word out. I probably wouldn't be standing here, right?

    Widespread Impact
    Looks at the people and companies in the Philippines contracted to moderate Internet content on social media platforms and the effect it has on the employees - you cant undo what you have seen. Raises ethical and moral questions - has caused some employees to commit suicide. Ridiculous productivity goals given to employees - a disturbing view of what happens behind the scenes. Should be mandatory viewing for all media platform users.
