I'm organising an ECR workshop this Friday with an incredible lineup of scholars. It's called 'A field guide to infrastructural analysis'. We only have space for 20, so there is a short application form. If you're in Edinburgh this week, please consider joining us! www.law.ed.ac.uk/news-events/...

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.

@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"

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issue with the ‘community notes’ model as a preferred content moderation system: it is oriented toward addressing an outdated and extremely narrow understanding of disinformation, one that views falsity and fakeness as the problem alone, ignoring the historical, social, cultural,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.

Went to a great talk on innovation nationalism and the colonial dynamics of drone testing in Australia last night, thanks so much @thaophan.bsky.social. The documentary below, interviewing people of Logan, is worth a watch. Logan is approx. 1h from my home. www.careful.industries/ai-in-the-st...

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.
