If you need an employee to produce a continuous task log, they aren't producing value, and as a manager, you don't understand your business well enough anyway. You may benefit from doing some personal work on yourself as well.
The value in a relationship seems proportional to the smallest increment of time someone in it is accountable for. If someone asks you what you have done for them an hour ago, vs. this morning, vs. yesterday, vs. last week, vs. quarterly, vs. how's it all going and what they can do for you - this is a good measure of whether it's something worth keeping.
No trust means no value. Those employees should find somewhere else to work.

Or negotiate better working conditions.
According to the article, one guy is suing for poor working conditions leading to PTSD and dozens if not hundreds of moderators are expected to file similar lawsuits related to poor working conditions. I can't imagine FB would find it beneficial to continue to deal with so many individual lawsuits...
Unfortunately, whenever these kind of lawsuits happen, a lot of people defend employers and say if worker could not have handled the work, they should have quit/looked for another job. Even if an employee doesn't file a lawsuit but refuse to be abused, other employees complain about the person standing up for themselves.
Years ago when I was naive and passive, we were ordered by management to work on Saturday to meet certain deadline. One guy simply said he cannot work on Saturday. The manager with dumb look asked why, the guy replied I got plans. Manager asked about other weekends, and this guy simply replied I got plans. Manager didn't know how to respond he left. Afaik, the guy never got in trouble. But rest of the team that worked Saturday complained about this guy being not a team player and how he should not be software developer if he cannot do a little bit of crunch time. I didn't know better I thought I was hero for putting in extra work. Of course, a few years later we were laid off. I learned my lessons.
Sometimes, I wonder if there is some sort of conspiracy by big businesses to spread narrative that anyone can find a better job if they don't like their job. Crunch time is normal, abusive policies are normal, etc
FB is already earning so much money that losing a few lawsuits here and there is par for the course.
That's part of the problem of relying on civil suits to try and steer company behavior at that level. They've already budgeted for a certain amount of risk, fees etc.
In order for these conditions to change you would need an actual entity (likely the government) to properly threaten the company into compliance. And not through slap on the wrist fees.
If they have %10-%20 of their time to keep a log, that's a deadweight imposed cost on their performance, which will only be a function of the %80 remainder.
You can get data on mean time between burgers from the point of sale system or add a sensor to the burger storage unit, just like you can get data on feature cadence from Jira.
Beyond a certain point, management is parasitic to capital. That point is very low.
