Social media platforms operate globally, but do they allocate human moderation equitably across languages?

Our new WP shows the answer is no:

-Millions of users post in languages with zero moderators
-Where mods exist, mod count relative to content volume varies widely across langs

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/

Can we detect #hatespeech at scale on social media?

To answer this, we introduce 🤬HateDay🗓️, a global hate speech dataset representative of a day on Twitter.

The answer: not really! Detection perf is low and overestimated by traditional eval methods
