2/2 Further recommendations on content moderation & how it can be improved for censored cartoonists. With @cartooningforpeace.bsky.social @freedomcartoonists.bsky.social @forhum.bsky.social @cgfoe.bsky.social et al. Find out more: cartoonistsrights.org/under-pressure-report
4/6 Recommendations
Moderation 
No final decision should be based solely on algorithmic moderation: moderation based entirely on artificial intelligence will not accurately interpret the contextual, cultural, and political content of cartoons.
Moderation decisions concerning journalistic and satirical content must be taken by specialised  teams, fully cognizant of  local issues, reflecting a diversity of sensibilities and representative of society, specifically trained in handling reports, working independently of national authorities and in close collaboration with specialist lawyers.5/6 Recommendations cont.
Reasoned decision
Cartoonists must receive notice of any moderation measure affecting the visibility or dissemination of their content -, with reasons given, as with any moderation decision.
Appeal
Access to an appeal platform must be guaranteed in all circumstances and appeal mechanisms must be strengthened.6/6 Find all the recommendations in the report.
