Many of us are in the tech industry. Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen? Or is this something we wouldn't be aware of since it's usually on the "content moderation" side of the house? (I haven't ever worked in social media, so not really familiar with content moderation other than removing the occasional dick pic)

Edit:

only one data point, but fwiw when I worked for Google I found some actively toxic youtube content w/upwards of 500k views that was telling children to off themselves, and despite using my employee back-channel connections the most I was able to get was an eventual "I'm not allowed to do anything about this" from a YouTube moderator, though it seemed to be for technical reasons (all the nasty content was in annotations, which apparently weren't wired into the moderation pipeline). There definitely wasn't a red button for me to hit as an employee to get it taken down.
