Re: [Air-L] Christchurch Call - relevant research links request
Erika, I've been working on a comprehensive list of scholarship on content moderation and platform governance. This is NOT it, at least not yet. Just a briefer sampling. But since you're on a tight schedule, I'm posting it here. (Anyone who feels their missing from this list, my apologies; I do have a longer list, you may be on it, and I'm still working on it. Happy if you send me pointers off list.) Ansd this does not cover the excellent scholarship that looks into specific challenging phenomena - hate speech, harassment, terrorism and social media, misinformation. The focus of the list is how the platforms respond. If you email me directly, I can gently indicate which of these are current, from scholars who might be particularly right for the event you're talking about, etc. Tarleton = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = *Content moderation and platform governance* Gorwa, Robert. 2019. “What Is Platform Governance?” Information, Communication & Society, 1–18.

This meeting might consider issues such as online radicalization and hate speech, and perhaps also wider considerations of civil society in a digital era, though the exact agenda has yet to be finalized I have been asked to request of the global research community any recent scholarly works that might be useful for people here to consider as they work through their thinking as to what the Call should - rather than restricting to a particular topic, I'd like to cast the net wide at this stage, as the agenda is still evolving. So could you please send me directly links/cites to your work or works of your colleagues that may help contribute or feed into this important public discussion. There is a tight timeframe here, so if you could get them to me by the 10th May NZ time (which early in the 9th for the US and late in the 9th for Europe) I would be very appreciative. I will pass them onto the team as I get them. Thanking you in advance. Erika (PS: thanks also for making me one of your open seat representatives - I look forward to serving the organisation!)

So could you please send me directly links/cites to your work or works of your colleagues that may help contribute or feed into this important public discussion. There is a tight timeframe here, so if you could get them to me by the 10th May NZ time (which early in the 9th for the US and late in the 9th for Europe) I would be very appreciative.

Thanking you in advance. Erika (PS: thanks also for making me one of your open seat representatives - I look forward to serving the organisation!)

Erika,
I've been working on a comprehensive list of scholarship on content moderation and platform governance. This is NOT it, at least not yet. Just a briefer sampling. But since you're on a tight schedule, I'm posting it here. (Anyone who feels their missing from this list, my apologies; I do have a longer list, you may be on it, and I'm still working on it. Happy if you send me pointers off list.) Ansd this does not cover the excellent scholarship that looks into specific challenging phenomena - hate speech, harassment, terrorism and social media, misinformation. The focus of the list is how the platforms respond.
If you email me directly, I can gently indicate which of these are current, from scholars who might be particularly right for the event you're talking about, etc.

There is a tight timeframe here, so if you could get them to me by the 10th May NZ time (which early in the 9th for the US and late in the 9th for Europe) I would be very appreciative. I will pass them onto the team as I get them.
Thanking you in advance. Erika (PS: thanks also for making me one of your open seat representatives - I look forward to serving the organisation!)

Hi Erika, Further to the excellent resources by Tarleton, Alexis and Michael, may I also recommend the work of Maura Conway and colleagues at Vox Pol (Violent Online Extremism): https://www.voxpol.eu/ On racist hate speech, you may also be interested in a report we prepared for the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, based on developing a machine learning tool for tracking and monitoring hate speech: E. Siapera, E. Moreo and J. Zhou (2018) HateTrack, available here: https://www.ihrec.ie/documents/hatetrack-tracking-and-monitoring-racist-hate...

In addition to this great list, I'd add a handful from the digital rhetoric side as well. The Ridolfo and DeVoss article on rhetorical velocity is especially worth visiting as we rethink how aggressive communities cross-seed ideas through various platforms to maximize reach and audience.

Erika,
I've been working on a comprehensive list of scholarship on content
moderation and platform governance. This is NOT it, at least not yet. Just a briefer sampling. But since you're on a tight schedule, I'm posting it here. (Anyone who feels their missing from this list, my apologies; I do have a longer list, you may be on it, and I'm still working on it. Happy if you send me pointers off list.) Ansd this does not cover the excellent scholarship that looks into specific challenging phenomena - hate speech, harassment, terrorism and social media, misinformation. The focus of the list is how the platforms respond.
If you email me directly, I can gently indicate which of these are
current, from scholars who might be particularly right for the event you're talking about, etc.

Hi Colleagues, Thanks for all the great resources shared thus far; also to Eugenia for giving VOX-Pol <https://www.voxpol.eu/> a shout-out. Two particular VOX-Pol resources may be of interest, Erika: 1. Our Publications page <https://www.voxpol.eu/publications/> lists our primary research, which is all available in open access, on various aspects of (violent) online extremism and terrorism; 2. Our searchable Online Library <https://www.voxpol.eu/library/> contains links to over 780 articles, reports, theses, books, etc. on the same issues. Also, I'm going to go through the various lists of refs already shared in response to Erika's request and add all those articles that fall directly into our sphere of interest and are not already appearing in the OL, but please feel free to drop us a line at onlinelibrary@voxpol.eu if you have additional items that you'd like us to add.

In addition to this great list, I'd add a handful from the digital rhetoric side as well. The Ridolfo and DeVoss article on rhetorical velocity is especially worth visiting as we rethink how aggressive communities cross-seed ideas through various platforms to maximize reach and audience.

Erika,
I've been working on a comprehensive list of scholarship on content
moderation and platform governance. This is NOT it, at least not yet. Just a briefer sampling. But since you're on a tight schedule, I'm posting it here. (Anyone who feels their missing from this list, my apologies; I do have a longer list, you may be on it, and I'm still working on it. Happy if you send me pointers off list.) Ansd this does not cover the excellent scholarship that looks into specific challenging phenomena - hate speech, harassment, terrorism and social media, misinformation. The focus of the list is how the platforms respond.
If you email me directly, I can gently indicate which of these are
current, from scholars who might be particularly right for the event you're talking about, etc.
