### No, there is no need for company-employed content moderators. If
somebody wishes not to be exposed to some type of content, he can ask other
people to filter available content for him. For example, Twitter could give
users the option to see only posts from users they follow. By choosing who
you follow you are in fact outsourcing the task of content filtering to
them. Every user who has followers would act as a voluntary content
moderator for them. Since the choice of who to follow is an individual one,
this system would assure individually customized content filtering for
everybody, without Twitter spending a dime.

So, no, no honest person needs content moderators on Twitter. Only
psychopaths who want to steal elections, like the last presidential
election, want to force their own "moderators" on the rest of us.
