Employees at a European facility have been asked to sign forms acknowledging that their work could cause mental-health issues

Content moderators working at a European facility for Facebook have been required to sign a form explicitly acknowledging that their job could cause post-traumatic stress disorder, according to documentation and employee confirmation obtained by the Financial Times.
