Listen "What is SHADOW moderation & how is it silencing speech?"
Episode Synopsis
A deep conversation on the topic of shadow moderation, a feature that lets moderators on platforms like Facebook and Reddit censor posts without alerting the person who posted it.
We discuss how pernicious this problem is at scale with Rob Hawkins, the founder of Reveddit, which is a tool that lets users discover which of their content has been removed from Reddit.
This may seem like a small UX feature on the surface, but the implications of silencing speech in this way has large ramifications for the increasing polarization of discord online.
