Excited to be at the Trust & Safety Research Conference at Stanford! If you want to chat, I have plenty to say about detection and policy for frauds and scams, impersonation, covert influence operations, and everything else related to online deception and coordination #TSRConf

I did not expect my title slide of my presentation at #TSRConf to get so many laughs. If anyone wanted to see this slide again to identify all the easter eggs (like there being no like button) here it is. For all those who weren’t able to attend the live talk, i gotchu, this will be a Youtube video.

A new journal paper from me - “Our Content Should Be Treated Differently”: Race, Gender, Language, and the Experiences of Quechua Women on Social Media, published in the Journal of Online Trust and Safety by the @techimpactpolicy.bsky.social tsjournal.org/index.php/jo...

“Our Content Should Be Treated Differently”:
Race, Gender, Language, and the Experiences
of Quechua Women on Social Media
Dhanaraj Thakur
I examine online gender-based violence (GBV) targeted at Quechua
women social media users who post in Quechua and how trust and safety
systems address this problem. This builds on previous research on how
such systems operate in low-resource languages (Elswah, Bhatia, and
Thakur 2025) and the literature on online GBV in the Majority World. I
use an intersectional framework to examine how the overlapping identi-
ties of race, gender, and language shape who has power when posting
in a low-resource language (i.e., Quechua). Using a 2024/25 survey of
Quechua social media users; interviews with content moderators, lin-
guistic activists, and others (Thakur 2025b); and social media comments
about Quechua women influencers on TikTok and YouTube during 2025,
I find that Quechua women are targeted with online GBV because of
their race, gender, and language. The analysis also suggests that trust
and safety systems fail to provide protection for these women, in part
because moderation and reporting policies are ineffective and because
the AI-based tools used by social media companies perform worse in
Quechua. I argue that social media platforms should treat the content of
historically oppressed groups differently—with greater protection, com-
munity engagement, and investmen
