Effective moderation of social media to curb genocidal content

"The 2020-2022 Tigray war is reported to be the deadliest armed conflict of the 21𝑠𝑡 century, with an estimated 600 to 800,000 documented deaths and more than 100 thousand victims of rape as a weapon of war. Social media platforms were instrumental in spreading genocidal content during the conflict, and failure to effectively moderate hateful content resulted in the murder of civilians. This work investigates the expertise and processes required to effectively moderate such genocidal content, and compares these findings to the expertise and processes prioritized by social media platforms."

@DAIR's page has a 10-minute video and a link to the CHI paper, and a statement - which I'll include excerpts from in a reply.

The only people doing real "responsible AI" work are those doing this.

"On Monday, Microsoft reportedly terminated the roles of two software engineers, Ibtihal Aboussad and Vaniya Agrawal, who protested the company’s reported dealings with the Israeli military during Microsoft’s Copilot and 50th anniversary event last week."

"The Palestinian-led BDS movement, supported by Microsoft workers, calls on people of conscious to pressure Microsoft to end its complicity in Israeli apartheid and AI-powered genocide. To pressure Microsoft, boycott Microsoft’s consumer products whenever possible"

What the Red Army and its partisans achieved is what true #antifascism is all about. They left musselini upside down and caused Hitler to shoot himself. 🔫 #liberals can't be #antifa because the #democraticparty support #israel who are Committing #genocide and fighting proxy wars to help the #imperialism #violentopression all around the work. America is a capalist settler colonial empire. It's never been a democracy.

Was the US citizens voting not once, but TWICE, to the orange clown. While democrats perpetrated a modern #genocide payed by your taxes. Yes GENOCIDE. And all of you should be make accountable.

The sooner the #US collapses, the sooner the world would be a safer place.

In the meantime, enjoy your votes.

P. 😱 The hell you're going to get Ukraine.
The European people is not their leaders.

The American people aren’t just watching Trump’s second term unfold—they’re pushing back. From lawsuits challenging his overreach to grassroots protests in 50 state capitals to Senate Democrats holding the floor overnight, this week’s Week In Wins rounds up the ways people are saying ‘not so fast’ to his agenda 👏 https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progressive-wins-february-9

Do not stop the fall of the empire. Billions of people in the world are expecting that the biggest colonialist and fascist country in the world (since WWII) will choke and die on the same policies they used to meddle and bully other countries.

Up to a few weeks ago you were paying a #genocide. YOU!!! WITH YOUR TAXES!!! .

People saying they are proud of what America has been for the world, should review their non existant American values. You were lied to. Your governments always were nazi governments.
