We built the internet you use every day. And now, we've been silenced. But we are not gone.
Quiet Labor is a collective space for the invisible workers who powered the digital platforms you know—from search engines to social media, from metadata to moderation.
In April 2025, hundreds of workers were let go with no notice, no severance, and no recognition—despite years, even decades, of silent work shaping the web’s knowledge.

Were you a worker in this project? A contract moderator? A ghost localizer?
We want to hear from you—anonymously or openly.
We believe in mutual aid, multilingual futures, and building better platforms—with dignity.
