Abstract

This article explores how content moderation on social media platforms impacts the work of open-source investigators through its routine removal of content having evidentiary value. These practices have rendered social media platforms susceptible to public criticism and scrutiny. However, these criticisms have largely been levied by a community who cares about content removal’s impact on free expression online. This swath of concerns does not comport with those of international criminal investigators who have increasingly turned to platforms for evidence gathering. Rather than confronting the issue, investigators have absorbed the costs by downplaying the impact of content removal on their work and by seeking to preserve the content on their own. I examine the disconnect between these two groups in their respective approaches to the problem of content removal and argue that both communities can stand to benefit from joining forces and taking notice of the convergence of their respective concerns.
糟糕的言论,好的证据:开源调查背景下的内容调节
本文探讨了社交媒体平台上的内容审核如何通过常规删除具有证据价值的内容来影响开源调查人员的工作。这些做法使得社交媒体平台容易受到公众的批评和审查。然而,这些批评主要是由一个关心内容删除对网络言论自由影响的社区提出的。这一系列担忧与国际刑事调查人员的担忧不符,他们越来越多地转向证据收集平台。调查人员没有直面这个问题,而是通过淡化内容删除对他们工作的影响,并寻求自己保存内容来承担成本。我研究了这两个群体在处理内容删除问题时的脱节,并认为两个社区都可以从联合起来并注意到他们各自关注的问题的一致性中受益。
