Series on Justice and Content Governance: Refiguring Systems and Justice

Friday, September 23, 2022
9:30 am to 11:00 am PDT
Online

Amy Hasinoff and Tyler Musgrave

Sponsored by the Algorithmic Fairness and Opacity Group (AFOG).

This second panel in AFOG’s Justice and Content Governance Panel Series focuses on how conceptions of justice, especially restorative justice, can drive the structures and practices of content governance.

Amy Hasinoff

Content moderation practices have not been able to effectively address online harms such as harassment and image-based sexual abuse. Restorative justice offers a new approach to moderating online spaces that acknowledges online harm, helps people who cause harm take accountability, and works toward repairing harm and changing the conditions that enable harm. Through interviews and participatory design workshops with both moderators of online platforms and restorative justice practitioners and activists, we analyze the similarities and differences in their approaches to harm. We found that their approaches differ in three key ways: 1) goals; 2)mechanisms for action; and 3) the locus of intervention. These findings highlight where future research and interventions could focus to bridge these gaps and facilitate the use of restorative justice principles to design safer online communities.
