Implementing Transparency About Content Moderation On February 2nd, Santa Clara University is hosting a gath...

If you're looking for the article that @alexfeerst just mentioned at #HTLI, it's here: www.techdirt.com/articles/20180131/221823...

"Wikipedia is probably not the place you go to spread terrorist propaganda. If you do, you're probably bad at your job." -@pd_w #HTLI

@techdirt @JacobLRogers55 And, yes, even though #HTLI is today, we'll still have more essays from #HTLI next week...

Today's @techdirt post from the #HTLI conference is @JacobLRogers55 about the challenges of international differences in copyright rules on figuring out what is and is not infringing....

"Making 5 hard decisions works one way... and making 500,000 hard decisions works another way" -- Dave Willner reminding everyone about the "scale" part of moderating content at scale. #HTLI

Good point from @nicolewong about how AI can't determine context, and we shouldn't be delegating the tough calls to AI. #HTLI

Good point by @pesieminski "there are a lot of edge cases and gray area, but everyone on this stage cares a lot about trying to get things right..." #HTLI Contrary to what some think, the internet platforms do care...

Interesting. @yelp employees scour places like @craigslist to find people looking to buy reviews, and are "usually the first to respond" pretending to be interested, so they can ding that business. #HTLI

So add @yelp to the list with @pinterest of the only companies who prepared slides about their content moderation efforts. #HTLI

Reddit says the "human element" makes them different. "Always engage with the community." #HTLI

.@alexfeerst saying @medium has an "internal common law" concerning moderation decisions that moderators will cite in making decisions #htli

So @alexfeerst from @Medium jokes that #HTLI conference is the "Woodstock of Content Moderation" and he's happy to be on the main stage.

Facebook claims it can remove 99% of ISIS/terrorist propaganda speech before anyone flags it. #HTLI

Took 1 whole hour before the spam started showing up on the #htli feed.

At my fourth event this week (on the second coast) in which online speech is a key theme. This time, the #htli event on content moderation & removal at scale. Expect lots of tweeting (feel free to mute).

#HTLI Audience Q about Copyright Alert System. Panelist says, "What?" All other panelists say, "Six strikes. It's a six strikes question."

#HTLI @daphnehk: "A filtering requirement would be great—for entrenched incumbents. YouTube's ContentID cost $30 million."

#HTLI Fox lawyer suggests Google crawls TPB less often. Maybe Fox should just make a search engine, if they know best how to run one?

#HTLI Fox lawyer just doesn't see a problem with outright blocking some sites. Copyright is king. Free speech comes second.

#HTLI What does Valentina expect to happen when she includes "torrent" in her search queries?

#HTLI Shorter Valentina: This system isn't working, so we need more of it.

#HTLI Tyler Ochoa, from the audience: "I don't think Congress did anything intentionally. They let the movie studios dictate."
