I think that it is grotesque to take some moral high ground while global companies are exploiting the most desperate workers that they can find. They don’t give a shit about poor people in India, they need people with marginal English language ability whom have little or no worker protections.
People will do what they have to do to survive. But this is hurting these people who long suffer long after the social media company’s contractor discards them.
They might also be doing it for the sake of a better future for their children, not just for themselves.
What’s your alternative? The people in villages are struggling without jobs and they are poor. They don’t even have food to put on their plate.
They make irrational decisions - don’t send their kids to school, make them work in farms. They are mentally stunted because of low quality food. They vote for idiots which stall progress even more.
You show concern but what is the alternative? Ask the capitalists for even more money?
> What’s your alternative?
Let women work the jobs, and laws mandating upfront transparency and mental health support. It shouldn't increase costs significantly and the benefits in human dignity will be more than worth it.
And don't stop working to make governments more honest, so other jobs can be established. Improve education so silly superstitions don't keep women locked out of large swathes of society and work.
Ending world hunger isn’t that expensive: https://wfpusa.org/news/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-...
Nvidia’s profit alone would’ve been more than enough to end world hunger by these estimates.

Ask the capitalists for even more money?
yes, all that profit they are making should be invested into the future of our society. globally.
poor people don't send their kids to school because school costs money, which they don't have. school is an investment into the future. but you can't make an investment if you don't have anything to invest. which is why that investment needs to come from those who have the money.
so unless they give enough money, they should not be able to employ the people who need the employment?
You suggest that the state set minimum wage above what the lady already earns? She earns way more than minimum wage.

You sound like Johnathan Swift satirically suggesting that the Irish sell their children to be eaten by their landlords.
