In film-noir style, directors Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck explore the hidden industry of digital cleaning in the Philippines. Subcontracted by social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube, workers spend long hours reviewing the most deplorable internet content and making rapid decisions about what to keep or remove. The film examines the broader global implications of digital censorship, the ethical questions facing social media corporations, and the personal toll of such work on those who undertake it.
