Is there a solution to this?
Let's say these jobs are bad. What do we do then? Just not have people do this job? Not allow uploads?

I had the same thought. I think the job is unavoidable BUT it needs much better screening. There are already countless of mindless individual who love watching that content, why not hire them? Finally a job sex offenders are good at.
It could also be a Clockwork Orange therapy for them.
If the choice is let's have [facebook|linkedin|bluesky] and someone has to suffer like this, or we don't have those things, than let's not have them.
The onus should be on the job provider to care for their employees too. They have a responsibility to ensure their employees are not physically harmed while they work. And to help or compensate their workers for any work injury. Right? Why not use the same criteria for psychological harm too? They should be provided psychological counselling. And note that this is not a new industry.
RealID + Ban + Legal Enforcement (depending on the content)
It will cut this work down by 90%, but I doubt many people here will go for it.
I think that would require someone looking at the content.
It does but way less. As I said "It will cut this work down by 90%, but I doubt many people here will go for it."
You're thinking US. What happens when most of the world doesn't even have an ID? Does Facebook suddenly drop 80% of users? Do US Facebook users only see US content?
The internet is not only "the west." What you're thinking is what's already happening in the Chinese internet, and even they cannot really limit the amount of disgusting content released by Chinese websites.
As long as non-verified users have access to the same internet as you, that content will continue to exist.
I'm thinking most countries. Most countries have some kind of ID. Most countries in Europe does. If not its easy to setup one if there is will.
I've never said is an 100% solution, nothing is an 100% solution. This is a 90% solution, which is already a huge improvement. Why would non-verified users have same access as you? Sure they can read, but no creation.
I'm from China and use the Chinese Internet regularity. The amount of disgusting content is way less then the global internet and they have less people doing filtering for abusive content.
