[Commlist] Content moderation on digital platforms: beyond states and firms - Internet Policy Review published

The latest issue of /Internet Policy Review/ explores the participation 
of civil society in online content regulation. How can moderation on 
social networks truly be fair, effective, and inclusive? What role can 
civil society play in democratizing platform governance?

Twelve papers examine these questions through various field studies: 
ordinary citizen participation in forum moderation, content flagging by 
organizations (trusted flaggers), fact-checking, advertiser lobbying on 
platform policies, influencer mobilizations, data activism, ethical 
design, and alternative platforms.

This issue is available in open access. You can find the table of
