The Wipro work is among about 200 content labeling projects that Facebook has at any time, employing thousands of people globally, company officials told Reuters. The Wipro workers said they gain a window into lives as they view a vacation photo or a post memorializing a deceased family member. But one former Facebook privacy manager, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed unease about users' posts being scrutinized without their explicit permission. Europe's top data privacy official declined to comment on possible concerns. Facebook said it has technology to routinely sync labeled posts with both deletion requests and changes to content privacy settings.
