The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union and Washington, DC offices are hosting a transatlantic online discussion that will seek to address discrimination of LGBTIQA+ and racial groups through content moderation.
Amid the EU discussion on the draft Digital Services Act (DSA) and of the US debate on reforming Section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act, we will present the reports:
- The state of content moderation for the LGBTIQA+ community and the role of the EU Digital Services Act by Christina Dinar: https://eu.boell.org/en/2021/06/21/state-content-moderation-lgbtiqa-community-and-role-eu-digital-services-act
- Algorithmic misogynoir in content moderation practice by Brandeis Marshall: https://eu.boell.org/en/2021/06/21/algorithmic-misogynoir-content-moderation-practice
The reports provide the basis for our transatlantic discussion on how to create a fairer and more inclusive online ecosystem.
