Title : Handling real-time content moderation on social media
Abstract : People upload millions of content on social media per day. Mixed amongst cat memes, makeup tutorials, and pictures of friends’ babies are dangerous content such as child pornography, sex trafficking, and terrorist propaganda, not to mention cyber bullying and harassment in general. In this talk, I discuss how AI and human labor work in conjunction to keep social media « clean » and the challenges of real-time content moderation. The process of content moderation is more than the removal of bad content, reflecting a complex sociotechnical issue that requires computer-mediated collaboration and relational management.
