Two former Microsoft employees are suing the company after it allegedly made them watch "horrific images" of murder, bestiality, and child pornography, saying that it made them develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) over time. A Microsoft spokesperson denied the company was negligent regarding the mental health of its employees. “We disagree with the plaintiffs’ claims. Microsoft takes seriously its responsibility to remove and report imagery of child sexual exploitation and abuse being shared on its services, as well as the health and resiliency of the employees who do this important work." Plaintiffs Henry Soto and Greg Blauert both worked on the online safety team, which is responsible for complying with legislation passed in 2008 requiring tech companies to report child abuse images and other crimes.
