Deplatforming raises ethical and legal questions, but foremost is the question of whether it is an effective strategy to reduce hate speech and calls for violence on social media. 3- The Conversation U.S. asked three experts in online communications whether deplatforming works and what happens when technology companies attempt it. Jeremy Blackburn, assistant professor of computer science, Binghamton University 4-Does deplatforming work from a technical perspective?

    DEBATS · Annual Review, 5 · 2020 — 287 / 302 DOI: http://doi.org/10.28939/iam.debats-en.2020-17 ISSN 2530-898X (print) ISSN 2530-8262 (electronic) Feminist Cyber-resistance to Digital Violence: Surviving Gamergate Macarena Hanash Martínez UNIVERSIDAD PABLO OLAVIDE [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-3859-920X Received: 15/09/2019 Accepted: 20/03/2020 ABSTRACT Women in cyberspace do not escape patriarchal violence and are subject to strict social control exercised through technological means. Cyber-violence especially affects women with an explicitly feminist presence in virtual spaces. Their participation in and advocacy of feminist values are considered a transgression of the patriarchal mandate, which seeks to exclude women from public spaces or, failing that, to marginalise them. That is why they are the targets of grave intimidation, harassment and threats. At the same time, digital networks have spawned a plethora of spaces for women’s collective, political and social action. Thus, online activity has played a key role in the resurgence and revitalisation of feminist communities and debates. This paper analyses the projects launched by Zoë Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian, two of the main targets of the Gamergate movement. We will study: (1) Crash Override and Speak Up & Stay Safe(r), a helpline and a resource platform for cyber-violence victims, respectively; (2) feminist cyber-resistance projects, within the framework of cyber-feminism and the current paradigm shift in the culture of protest and feminist organisation.

Policing the Boundaries of the Sayable: The Public Negotiation of Profane, Prohibited and Proscribed Speech1 ______________________________________________________________________________ What can be said, and what cannot, is a problem peculiar to the meta-discursive capacity of language tangled up in the human mandate for a world of moral order. Kenneth Burke captures this tension in his definition of man as “the symbol-using (symbol-making, symbol-misusing) animal, inventor of the negative (or moralized by the negative), separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making, goaded by the spirit of hierarchy (or moved by the sense of order), and rotten with perfection" (Burke, 1969, p.

  • Bad Actors: Authenticity, Inauthenticity, Speech, and Capitalism
    ARTICLES BAD ACTORS: AUTHENTICITY, INAUTHENTICITY, SPEECH, AND CAPITALISM Sarah C. Haan* ABSTRACT “Authenticity” has evolved into an important value that guides social media companies’ regulation of online speech. It is enforced through rules and practices that include real-name policies, Terms of Service requiring users to present only accurate information about themselves, community guidelines that prohibit “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” verification practices, product features, and more. This Article critically examines authenticity regulation by the social media industry, including companies’ claims that authenticity is a moral virtue, an expressive value, and a pragmatic necessity for online communication. It explains how authenticity regulation provides economic value to companies engaged in “information capitalism,” “data capitalism,” and “surveillance capitalism.” It also explores how companies’ self-regulatory focus on authenticity shapes users’ views about objectionable speech, upends traditional commitments to pseudonymous political expression, and encourages collaboration between the State and private companies. The Article concludes that “authenticity,” as conceptualized by the industry, is not an important value for users on par with privacy or dignity, but that it offers business value to companies. Authenticity regulation also provides many of the same opportunities for viewpoint discrimination as does garden-variety content moderation. * Associate Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University School of Law.

  • Propaganda and the Nihilism of the Alt-Right
    ***Please do not cite. Use Published Version: 10.5840/radphilrev2020412110*** Propaganda and the Nihilism of the Alt-Right Abstract: The alt-right is an online subculture marked by its devotion to the execution of a racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic politics through trolling, pranking, meme-making, and mass murder. It is this devotion to far-right politics through the discordant conjunction of humor and suicidal violence this article seeks to explain by situating the movement for the first time within its constitutive online relationships. This article adds to the existing literature by viewing the online relationships of the alt-right through the genealogy of propaganda. Through situating the alt-right alongside the genealogy of propaganda, the article offers new insights into the social isolation, increasingly extreme social and political positions, nihilism, and violence that have emerged within the alt-right. The article concludes by applying the lessons of the alt-right for online organizing across the political spectrum and argues that a class-based politics of the left is an important part of countering the rise of the alt-right.
