The Invisible Rules of the Internet
Social media platforms shape public discourse through curation and moderation. During COVID-19, content moderation, inclusive of removals and downranking, raised concerns about silencing marginalized voices. A 2020 Anti-Defamation League survey found that 36% of U.S. adults faced online harassment, with 20% of those cases linked to political views, underscoring the difficulty of managing polarizing content. As algorithms dictate what’s seen or suppressed, how can we build digital spaces that protect expression and integrity?
