Claudia, a current TikTok moderator, told The Bureau she felt anxious and panicked at work after having to watch trending video after video of people eating live animals.

It was impossible for her to escape them, and triggered a phobia of hers ⬇️

Moderators also said they faced inadequate psychological support from the company they were contracted through.

Workers told us about their gruelling performance targets – up to 1,000 videos A DAY, with 15 seconds to watch each one ⏰
