#community-standards — Public Fediverse posts

Just checking if a Reply acknowledging the non-consenting-sex side of a joke is #SeaLioning in your view.

#Consent #CommunityStandards

A detailed documentation of harassment, discriminatory conduct, and the breakdown of moderation standards. This report serves as a formal record for accountability when peaceful dialogue is refused.

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

I am very wary of those individuals who are neither writers nor editors nor even, in some cases, readers, who feel that they have the right to apply their own moral criteria to the books in public and school libraries. I have enormous respect and admiration and love for the librarians who are rising up to protest this, because they are putting their very jobs on the line.

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

Why I Reported Online Hate Speech: A Lesson in Boundaries

I recently shared a factual screenshot of AI-generated information on Mastodon. Someone attacked me personally for using AI, creating a thread of insults.

I did not engage. I reported the user and blocked them.

My Fedi profile is a Giving Container. I have zero tolerance for hate speech or personal attacks. Protecting my peace and maintaining a professional environment is more important than winning an argument.

Hurt people hurt people, but that does not mean I have to accept their hurt in my space.

Technology changes fast, but community standards change slowly. We must uphold them.

Have you experienced a negative reaction for using AI tools? How did you handle it?

#DigitalSafety #CommunityStandards #SystemIntegrity

Mastodon is only a decent community because we actively maintain it. If you see harassment, especially men targeting women, don't just scroll past. Call it out and report it. Let's keep the space clean. Take out the trash.

📢 Public Accountability Post

I need to raise awareness about harmful behavior I experienced on the instance `wizard.casa`.

A person, possibly the admin (@nimda), bullied me. Another user, likely connected to them (@ps), also engaged in bullying and tried to provoke me in ways that justified kicking me out of `wizard.casa` without any chance to defend myself, appeal, or maintain my dignity.

This is abusive and deeply inappropriate behavior. I attempted many times to contact @nimda and @ps directly, but received no response. Their silence is not neutrality — it is refusal of ownership.

Accountability in the Fediverse is not optional. Every admin should be held responsible for how they treat users. Cyberbullying is never okay, and moderation practices like this are unfair, unsafe, and harmful to trust in the community.

I am making this public so others can be aware, and so that we can have an open conversation about accountability and dignity in the Fediverse.

Kena standar komunitas Tiktok (lagi)

I haven’t posted on #facebook since last year when I shared a few updates of my time volunteering for the #Harris campaign, YET I recently received a notice that my account has been suspended for potential violations of #communitystandards. Hard not to lean into confirmation bias about the #Trump administration’s violation of #freespeech & #tech collusion.
#technology #SocialMedia #government

So, "fact checking" has been replaced with "community standards" on Facebook?

I guess whoever has the most power, influence and popularity determines what the "standard" is, regardless of whether it's backed up by logic, reason and evidence?

Wer möchte, kann hier die aktuellsten #Änderungen an den Richtliniendetails der #CommunityStandards von #Meta für "Hasserfülltes Verhalten" einsehen:
https://transparency.meta.com/de-de/policies/community-standards/hateful-conduct/
Man erkennt darin sehr klare Richtungen, in welchen Bereichen Dinge explizit erlaubt sind. Gender-Themen trifft es in diesen Änderungen z.B. am deutlichsten.

My wife just posted a picture on Facebook of the carnage she made out of our kiwi tree, because there was a big spider in it.
When I tried to comment on it with a meme showing disaster girl saying "There was a spider, it is gone now", Facebook warned me that this content has been removed as violating community standards - and that I could delete it now to avoid potential account restrictions.

#communitystandards #meta #facebook #spider

Looks like #Zuckerberg's #GenocideEnablingSocialMedia will not be available for me to use to engage in #ReUseRepair.

To my knowledge nothing in their so called #CommunityStandards applies to my account.

And if something there may apply Facebook ain't telling me what.
So I can't even try to set them straight.

I'm not expecting #NaturalJustice from a #GenocideEnabling scumbag.
And still I think it's worth noting it's absence in their account suspension process.

A woman who is a friend from my college days posted a "funny" meme on Facebook about the work of two men only being a part time job. I tried to share with her the link to Paris Paloma's "Labor" song on YouTube and Facebook refused to let me, citing its "community standards". That's... telling.

Reddit admits more moderator protests could hurt its business https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/reddit-failing-to-support-third-party-apps-could-hurt-business-ipo-filing-says/

Reddit acknowledges in its recent filing that potential backlash from moderators could have a negative impact on its business operations. The platform's failure to adequately support third-party apps may pose a threat, especially as it gears up for its IPO.

@JeremyNewberger It's as ridiculous as #Facebook #AI #CommunityStandards completely disregarding the existence of #sarcasm and #satire . Even if you put a big flashing sign saying ATTN! THIS IS SATIRE! They will still put you in time out. 🙄

To protect our democratic system #2 Online platforms

Yesterday the European Commission published the latest monthly reports from Google, Twitter, and Facebook, on the progress made in February towards meeting their commitments to fight disinformation.
The online platforms are all signatories of the Code of Practice against disinformation and have committed to report their progress in the run up to the European Parliament elections in May 2019. The publication of the monthly reports follows a meeting Tuesday afternoon between the Commission and the platforms to discuss the state of play.

Vice-President for the Digital Single Market, the Estonian Andrus Ansip, Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality Věra Jourová, Commissioner for the Security Union Julian King, and Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society Mariya Gabriel said in a joint statement:

“Yesterday’s meeting and the reports published today show that online platforms are making progress. We had good discussions with them about how they can further improve the ongoing monthly reporting requested in the Action Plan against Disinformation. Such monthly progress is needed to ensure the transparency during the election campaign.

It might be a good signal the platforms have all confirmed that their tools for assessing the transparency of political ads will be operational in advance of the European elections in May.

This is a substantial achievement, especially in such a short time-frame, which will enhance the transparency of online paid political advertisements and ensure that voters will be reliably informed throughout the election period and beyond. We also welcome the fact that all three platforms are taking election integrity initiatives that go beyond the specific commitments set out in the Code of Practice.

However, we may not forget that further efforts are needed by all signatories in key areas and that more systematic information is needed for the Commission to assess the efforts deployed by the online platforms to scrutinise the placement of ads and to better understand the effectiveness of the actions taken against bots and fake accounts.

The European commission encourage online platforms to work with researchers and fact-checkers on access to live information on public pages, streams and other services, as well as on data on inauthentic accounts they have identified and removed.

The EU commission takes note of the progress made by online platforms and urges them to step up their efforts. For them

access could help to obtain a comprehensive and independent picture of disinformation patterns and trends, and should be done in full respect of the General Data Protection Regulation.

They are fully aware that they need to make sure that the tools being developed by online platforms are available in all 28 EU Member States, not only in certain Member States.

Main outcomes of the reports:

• Google reported on actions to improve scrutiny of ad placements in the EU and provided further detail on its election ads transparency policy, including the specific verification requirements that advertisers must meet to run election ads. It confirmed that its EU Elections Ads Transparency Report will be introduced in April, covering all political adverts on the platform. Data was also provided on the removal of a significant number of YouTube channels for violation of its policies on spam, deceptive practices & scams and impersonation. Google needs to show further progress on the transparency of issue-based advertising and on abusive account creation as well as more detailed reporting on YouTube.
• Facebook reported on actions to improve the scrutiny of ad placements and highlighted a new policy on vaccine misinformation, as well as more information on their policy for issue-based advertising in the EU. Facebook confirmed its Ad Library will be launched in late March and will consist of a publicly searchable database for political and issue-based ads. The platform also reported that it had tackled three cases of coordinated inauthentic behaviour in February in Romania, the UK and Moldova. Facebook should provide more information on specific actions taken against breaches of its community standards (such as misrepresentation or inauthenticity).
• Twitter has expanded its political campaigning ads policy to cover the EU and started enforcing its policy on 11 March. This policy includes a certification process and ads covered by the policy will be viewable in Twitter’s Ad Transparency Centre. Twitter needs to show more progress on the scrutiny of ad placements, as well as report on actions to protect its services against malicious automated accounts, spam and other activities.
