A secret list curated by social network giant Facebook was published online recently after an employee for one of the company’s third-world contractors, upset at his poor working conditions and meager wage, decided to fight back.

Amine Derkaoui, the 21-year-old Moroccan who leaked the document, claimed he was hired by a firm Facebook uses to outsource content policing, only to be paid $1 an hour for his efforts.

“They are just exploiting the third world,” he told Gawker.

Facebook’s media relations department did not respond to a request for comment.

1. Well, from what I have seen here from apple fans we shouldn't complain because others do it too

("exploiting the third world,” that is) Of course, since more people buy apple products than other ones you would think it would be ok to hold a company you do business with accountable...

2. Is it just me or does that list seem tame?

3. Hey pro-globalists, where are you now? Hello?

I'm sure y'all remember this incident. It's quite similar.

4. I don't have a problem with the list existing but it NEEDS to be a public part of the EULA. nt
