The author narrates details of working as a content moderator, so the she describes a range of horrible images that moderators have to see and engage with.

Really surprised by the low ratings this book has, I think more people wanted to be voyeurs to this occupation than read about the impacts of it. This is going to stick with me for a while.

We Had to Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets, translated by Emma Rault, is a book for the online age showcasing the unreliable narration of a lesbian former content moderator.

As the (unreliable) narrator's job is in Trust and Safety for a major tech platform there are also descriptions of a variety of content flagged for review or guidelines around. So further assume ALL CONTENT WARNINGS apply.

While the premise of this book was interesting, the story felt incomplete. It had a lot of potential, but it didn't quite live up to it, in my opinion. The ending felt like it came out of nowhere. I would've liked for it to be longer, with more time and space to flesh out the characters.
