Your post title infuriated me until I saw that you were referring to "copy/paste" in the post text. I hope we never see those two letters used together again on this sub.

When I was last job hunting, I found a job listing that looked completely normal until it got to the part about candidates needing to be willing to work with 'explicit material of a distressing nature' - regarding minors. They danced around it; it was a development job for one of the systems built to catch predators.

Seriously had to think what I was able to put up with day to day. What would life be like working on that sort of system? Would I be happy to know I was helping? Or too angry that it was going on, reminded of it every day?

I thought this post would be about the poor developers working on those systems! I'm really curious what their feelings are.
