The Cleaners

Seven thousand miles from Silicon Valley in downtown Manila, a secret team of content moderators have a target of 25,000 Facebook, Google and Twitter posts to delete each day. Trawling through the world's most violent, disturbing and highly contentious online material, in the form of terrorist videos, child pornography, self-harm material and political propaganda, `the cleaners' are individually responsible for deciding what stays online and what gets removed.
