Every minute, 245,000 photos are uploaded to the internet, totaling more than 350 million photos daily. Simultaneously, some of these images and videos are being blocked or deleted: child pornography, photos of torture or extreme violence, but also harmless images of breastfeeding mothers. Furthermore, politically sensitive photos disappear from the web time and again, as in the case of Glasgow student Roza Salih. She had posted a photo of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan. Even though most suspicious images are pre-selected by algorithms, a decision about what is or is not "inappropriate" cannot be made by algorithms alone. Thus, it is up to people, the "moderators," to ensure that, apparently, social networks remain pure.

Who are these moderators who "clean up" social media? What criteria do they use? And how much can these decisions influence everyone's lives and opinions?
