Data donation is a really promising approach. But also one with many challenges

Bummed to miss this session due to a meeting but highly recommend!

The threats to media freedom in the US are unprecedented

The administration sues media companies, intimidates journalists and news organisations, denies journalists WH access, encourages less facts, journalism, and safety on social media platforms.

Undermining free press is an attack on democracy.

Our @techpolicypress.bsky.social article is based on our recent paper examining Community Notes through the lens of humour. We find that CN enacts a narrow conception of disinformation that is ill-equipped to address hate and harm. eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat...
Our research reveals a fundamental issue with the ‘community notes’ model as a preferred content moderation system: it is oriented toward addressing an outdated and extremely narrow understanding of disinformation, one that views falsity and fakeness as the problem alone, ignoring the historical, social, cultural, economic and political nature of disinformation. By examining the tool through the lens of humor, we show how the system fails to assess the harms or ‘check-worthiness’ of false narratives. This problem is a skill expert fact-checkers are trained to address, making Community Notes a poor substitute for culturally informed content moderation performed by a combination of experts, AI, and crowd workers situated in place and time.
