Happy to see this out in the world! Please read if you're thinking critically about the fast adoption of content moderation systems like Community Notes, that combine crowdsourcing with bridging-based algorithmic ranking. These systems are being rolled out by X, YouTube, Meta and now TikTok.

Our paper (w @nadiajude.bsky.social) on Community Notes is out as part of the collection Empirical Approaches to Infrastructures for Datafication: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10..... Thanks to the editors @stinelomborg.bsky.social @afrontiercity.bsky.social Jennifer Paybus and Signe Sophus Lai!

@olgarithmic.bsky.social and I just published an article in The Conversation, talking about global online resistance to russia's war on Ukraine (including #nafo) and how it connects to the complexities of social media platform moderation. Read it here: theconversation.com/three-years-...

Three years after Russia’s invasion, a global online army is still fighting for Ukraine

The North Atlantic Fella Organisation has devised creative ways to support the Ukrainian cause – while navigating the complexities of content moderation.

"These scholars... all highlight the centrality of popular discontent with neoliberalism—whether as a project of governance, a type of rationality, or a set of economic policies—as key to understanding the resurgence of an authoritarian, nationalist, and anti-globalist Right"

We here @citap.bsky.social, in collaboration w/ @mariher.bsky.social & Kristóf Szombati, put together a timely and important reading list. Authoritarian Politics: How to Understand It and How to Resist It. We hope you'll read, reflect, and share this tool broadly. 1/ citap.unc.edu/wp-content/u...

Our @techpolicypress.bsky.social article is based on our recent paper examining Community Notes through the lens of humour. We find that CN enacts a narrow conception of disinformation that is ill-equipped to address hate and harm. eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat...

Our research reveals a fundamental issue with the ‘community notes’ model as a preferred content moderation system: it is oriented toward addressing an outdated and extremely narrow understanding of disinformation, one that views falsity and fakeness as the problem alone, ignoring the historical, social, cultural, economic and political nature of disinformation. By examining the tool through the lens of humor, we show how the system fails to assess the harms or ‘check-worthiness’ of false narratives. This problem is a skill expert fact-checkers are trained to address, making Community Notes a poor substitute for culturally informed content moderation performed by a combination of experts, AI, and crowd workers situated in place and time.

Nadia Jude and Dr. Ariadna Matamoros-Fernández find the “Community Notes” model –which combines automation with the ‘wisdom’ of user crowds– is ill-equipped to address hate-fuelled, harmful narratives often deeply entwined with disinformation.

Nadia Jude@nadiajude.bsky.social · 2y ago

I loved working with @ariadnamf.bsky.social on this. We conceptualise Community Notes as a "data infrastructure for soft moderation". CN has an operational logic that inscribes true-false, real-fake binaries, and fails to address false narratives that mobilise the ambiguities within humour to harm.

Ariadna Matamoros-Fernández@ariadnamf.bsky.social · 2y ago

Amidst Meta's content moderation changes, @nadiajude.bsky.social and I have a new paper in press on how the 'Community Notes' model corrects narrow understandings of the disinformation problem eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat... We're also preparing a piece for Tech Policy Press that we'll share soon
