Abstract

Abstract After a period of self‐regulation, countries around the world began to implement regulations for the removal of terrorist content from tech platforms. However, much of this regulation has been criticised for a variety of reasons, most prominently for concerns of infringing free speech and creating unfair burdens for smaller platforms. In addition to this, regulation is heavily centred around content moderation, however, fails to consider or address the psychosocial risks it poses to human content moderators. This paper argues that where regulation has been heavily criticised yet continues to inspire similar regulation a new regulatory approach is required. The aim of this paper is to undertake an introductory examination of the use of a social regulation approach in three other industries (environmental protection, consumer protection and occupational health and safety) to learn and investigate new regulatory avenues that could be applied to the development of new regulation that seeks to counter terrorist content on tech platforms and is concerned with the safety of content moderators.

打击网络恐怖主义内容:一种社会监管方法

经过一段时间的自我监管，世界各国开始实施从科技平台上删除恐怖主义内容的规定。然而，由于各种原因，这一规定在很大程度上受到了批评，最主要的原因是担心侵犯言论自由，并给较小的平台带来不公平的负担。除此之外，监管主要以内容审核为中心，然而，未能考虑或解决它对人类内容审核者构成的心理社会风险。本文认为，在监管受到严厉批评但仍继续激发类似监管的地方，需要一种新的监管方法。本文的目的是对在其他三个行业(环境保护、消费者保护和职业健康与安全)中使用社会监管方法进行介绍性检查，以学习和调查可以应用于制定新监管的新监管途径，这些新监管旨在打击技术平台上的恐怖主义内容，并关注内容版主的安全。

期刊介绍： Understanding public policy in the age of the Internet requires understanding how individuals, organizations, governments and networks behave, and what motivates them in this new environment. Technological innovation and internet-mediated interaction raise both challenges and opportunities for public policy: whether in areas that have received much work already (e.g. digital divides, digital government, and privacy) or newer areas, like regulation of data-intensive technologies and platforms, the rise of precarious labour, and regulatory responses to misinformation and hate speech. We welcome innovative research in areas where the Internet already impacts public policy, where it raises new challenges or dilemmas, or provides opportunities for policy that is smart and equitable. While we welcome perspectives from any academic discipline, we look particularly for insight that can feed into social science disciplines like political science, public administration, economics, sociology, and communication. We welcome articles that introduce methodological innovation, theoretical development, or rigorous data analysis concerning a particular question or problem of public policy.
