Ep. 251: Mods? Mods?? ft. Sam Biddle

Meta has announced a series of new moderation proposals that will impact political content on their platforms.

Sam Biddle of The Intercept joins us to talk about his recent piece examining Meta’s consideration around censoring the word “Zionist.” We discuss how that would look in application, the limits of automated or outsourced content moderation, and the larger shift the company has announced regarding not recommending political content to users.

We also do a little Super Bowl recap, and provide an update on Israel’s escalation on Rafah.
