WEBCAST MAR 19 – Using data for accountability: Lessons learned from the Oversight Board’s impact

ISOC LIVE

ISOC LIVEOn Tuesday March 19, 2024 at 12:00-13:00 EDT (16:00-17:00 UTC) the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) presents ‘Using data for accountability: Lessons learned from the Oversight Board’s impact‘.

As social media regulation comes into force around the world, regulators are increasingly narrowing down on the type of data they need to hold platforms accountable and ensure users are treated fairly.

The Oversight Board, an independent body created by Meta in 2020 to make binding decisions and policy recommendations, has been working for the past two years to create a data-driven approach to hold the company accountable and ensure that users feel the impact of its recommendations. In this discussion, Oversight Board Head of Data & Implementation and DFRLab Non-Resident Fellow Naomi Shiffman presents lessons learned from the Board’s work, followed by a panel discussion.

SPEAKERS
Chloe Colliver – Head of Industry Developments for Online Safety, OFCOM
Berdien van der Donk – DSA Enforcement and Transparency, European Commission
Naomi Shiffman – Head of Data & Implementation, Oversight Board

WEBCAST APR 1: Content Moderation in an End-to-End Encrypted World

livestream

livestreamOn Friday April 1 2022, at 1pm-2pm EDT (17:00-18:00 UTC) the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter, in partnership with the Center for Democracy and Technology and Stanford Internet Observatory hosts a discussion ‘Content Moderation in an End-to-End Encrypted World’. In recent years the focus of the encryption debate has shifted to social media platforms and messaging services’ content moderation policies and practices. While not always explicitly targeting end-to-end encryption (E2EE), proposals to regulate social media companies, including the proposed EARN IT Act bill in the U.S., MeitY’s Intermediary Guidelines in India, and the proposed Online Safety Bill in the U.K. could have serious implications for E2EE services. As this policy debate continues, companies have proposed methods to moderate content on E2EE platforms that raise privacy concerns, such as those that utilize machine learning and client-side scanning. This event will feature presentations on critical research in this area, highlight global efforts to defend encryption against movements to undermine it, and include an open discussion.

PANEL
Riana Pfefferkorn, Research Scholar, Stanford Internet Observatory
Mallory Knodel, Chief Technology Officer, Center for Democracy and Technology

Last year, Facebook set up the Oversight Board as an independent body to review its content moderation decisions and make binding judgments about its policies. Described by Mark Zuckerberg as Facebook’s “Supreme Court,” the Board has rendered its first set of decisions and is now poised to consider one of the most significant questions in the world: should Donald Trump’s Facebook account remain suspended due to incitements leading to the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, or should Trump be allowed back on the platform to reconnect with his millions of followers?
