Content moderationReviewing user-generated content to ensure that it complies with a platform’s T&C as well as with legal guidelines. See also: Content Moderator online is central in many debates today—about free speech and safety, business, democracy, and even national security and geopolitics. From landmark regulations like Section 230 in the US and the Digital Services Act (DSA) in the EU, to high-stakes legal battles and shifting corporate policies such as the recent ones announced by Zuckerberg for Meta, the rules of online governance continuously evolve.
This event, organised in collaboration by Tremau, the MIT Alumni Association of the UK and the INSEAD AI Alumni-led Community, will unpack some core principles and practices for content moderation. We will explore how fairness and due process may fit into today’s regulatory frameworks, examine the challenges of content moderation during crises—from elections to pandemics—and discuss what companies are actually doing in practice in this space.
