@bloggeronpole presenting at #PlatGov2023 on why #contentmoderation appeals don't work even when users 'spend their whole lives appealing', esp for some groups (trans people, sex workers) - they remain arbitrary, unreliable & opaque
It was a pleasure to share my research & personal experience of #contentmoderation towards the #Meta #OversightBoard’s latest overturning of the deletion of posts showing nudity. Thanks for the mention, and let's hope this is the start of a more sex-positive social media governance

“Really enjoyed this netnography of pole dancers organising to fight the Instagram shadowban by @MilenaKLey & @moni_nadegger - however, as the person who got that apology by IG, I have a few corrections. https://t.co/Cn5O49x451 https://t.co/SnRWbQT27o”

2022 recap - Blogger On Pole

2022 has been quite the year! I feel like I have grown so much and not just because I turned 30 this month. Here's my 2022 recap.

Blogger On Pole
Is the de-platforming of journalism a dangerous attack on freedom of expression by a private company such as #Twitter? Yes. Has the same been happening before to sex workers, activists, LGBTQIA+ users etc., without the necessary attention by mainstream media and society? Also yes.
Wrote a blog post for work about my past season of conferences, between Amsterdam and Stanford, with a focus on what it means to research on digital platforms through those same platforms. https://digitalcitizens.uk/blog/presenting-research-on-automated-powerlessness-at-interdisciplinary-international-conferences/
