Time: 1pm-2:30pm

Seminar topic: This short paper critiques current algorithmic content moderation on large commercial platforms through the lens of Marxist-feminist digital ethics and outlines a vision for justice-oriented moderation. It advances three exploratory theses: (1) reimagining the normative foundations of moderation by shifting the focus from civility to participatory parity; (2) recognising identity and power inequalities in speech; and (3) evaluating moderation outcomes through community-sensitive impact metrics.
