Our @techpolicypress.bsky.social article is based on our recent paper examining Community Notes through the lens of humour. We find that CN enacts a narrow conception of disinformation that is ill-equipped to address hate and harm. eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat...
I'm organising an ECR workshop this Friday with an incredible lineup of scholars. It's called 'A field guide to infrastructural analysis'. We only have space for 20, so there is a short application form. If you're in Edinburgh this week, please consider joining us!

Happy to see this out in the world! Please read if you're thinking critically about the fast adoption of content moderation systems like Community Notes, that combine crowdsourcing with bridging-based algorithmic ranking. These systems are being rolled out by X, YouTube, Meta and now TikTok.
Our paper (w @nadiajude.bsky.social) on Community Notes is out as part of the collection Empirical Approaches to Infrastructures for Datafication: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10..... Thanks to the editors @stinelomborg.bsky.social @afrontiercity.bsky.social Jennifer Paybus and Signe Sophus Lai!

@olgarithmic.bsky.social and I just published an article in The Conversation, talking about global online resistance to russia's war on Ukraine (including #nafo) and how it connects to the complexities of social media platform moderation. Read it here: theconversation.com/three-years-...
Three years after Russia’s invasion, a global online army is still fighting for Ukraine
The North Atlantic Fella Organisation has devised creative ways to support the Ukrainian cause – while navigating the complexities of content moderation.

"These scholars... all highlight the centrality of popular discontent with neoliberalism—whether as a project of governance, a type of rationality, or a set of economic policies—as key to understanding the resurgence of an authoritarian, nationalist, and anti-globalist Right"
We here @citap.bsky.social, in collaboration w/ @mariher.bsky.social & Kristóf Szombati, put together a timely and important reading list. Authoritarian Politics: How to Understand It and How to Resist It.

Went to a great talk on innovation nationalism and the colonial dynamics of drone testing in Australia last night, thanks so much @thaophan.bsky.social. The documentary below, interviewing people of Logan, is worth a watch. Logan is approx. 1h from my home.

I loved working with @ariadnamf.bsky.social on this. We conceptualise Community Notes as a "data infrastructure for soft moderation". CN has an operational logic that inscribes true-false, real-fake binaries, and fails to address false narratives that mobilise the ambiguities within humour to harm.
Amidst Meta's content moderation changes, @nadiajude.bsky.social and I have a new paper in press on how the 'Community Notes' model corrects narrow understandings of the disinformation problem eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat... We're also preparing a piece for Tech Policy Press that we'll share soon

New GloTech study discusses these Qs: What can South-to-South knowledge exchange contribute to Tech and Democracy research? What are divergence points between Global North & South tech justice advocacies? How are so-called global “whole-of-society” coalitions extractive of “local partners”? 🧿 1/6
