Content moderation is a hot issue in 2021, given that it greatly impacts the way people communicate on social media. What content should be allowed and what shouldn't? How open and transparent should platforms be about how they make these decisions? What about the wellbeing of moderators who are viewing disturbing content?

Democracy in peril meets the power of big tech. Where do we go from here?

Join us on Thursday, January 21 at 1pm ET for a highly-interactive livestream with two leading experts on content moderation. Special guests Sarah T. Roberts, PhD (co-founder and Co-Director of the UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry, author of Behind the Screen: Content Moderation in the Shadows of Social Media) & Murtaza Shaikh, PhD (Senior Advisor on Hate Speech, Social Media and Minorities to UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues). The conversation will be moderated by David Ryan Polgar, founder & director of All Tech Is Human.

This is part of our monthly livestream series with TheBridge. Follow-up resources & podcast will be provided by The Radical AI Podcast! In addition, this livestream will be recorded.

On February 18th, All Tech Is Human will release a paper on Improving Social Media: The People, Organizations, & Ideas for a Better Tech Future. If you have resources, suggestions, or would like to get involved with this project, you can fill out this form.
