This morning, the New York Times ran a guest editorial I wrote about the challenges, but importance of, content moderation on large social platforms. Check it out in the opinion section

visiting savannah and being reminded of the anti-literacy laws pre-civil war as a tool of oppression is an unsettling backdrop for news about the govt destroying the department of education

I have worked on T&S at Meta, Twitter and Nextdoor and advise startups about their product strategy. I summarized the changes Meta announced in January. Link as the video is longer than 60 sec.

Okay, so just a few* thoughts (*this got longer as I wrote 😅….long thread)-

Will Meta's retreat from proactive/automated enforcement of its community standards lead to Instagram and Facebook becoming deeper cess pools? Well, it's complicated and the devil will be in the details. Let's look at the data and see what questions we should be asking... 🧵 1/12

My former colleague @samidh.bsky.social has a good hot take on the recent announcement from Meta. The aspiration of 3rd party fact checking is noble, but challenging to implement well at scale.

New @acm-cscw.bsky.social paper, new content moderation paradigm. Post Guidance lets moderators prevent rule-breaking by triggering interventions as users write posts! We implemented PG on Reddit and tested it in a massive field experiment (n=97k). It became a feature! arxiv.org/abs/2411.16814

Considering how to support civil dialogue online, particularly in public forums where debate & disagreement are common. I'd love to see more perspective taking but the character limits of a 'tweet' (what we calling these?) are limiting. If there was a perspective taking tool, would you use it?

At Harvard to speak at the BKC on the future of social media, 20 years after FB was invented here. What good has emerged? What behaviors or ways of interacting do we want to facilitate for in the future? Will there be emergent platforms or will Meta/YouTube/TikTok continue to own social moving fwd?

As one of the former Directors of Product at Twitter, where I worked alongside amazing people in the Health (Trust & Safety Product) team, it's a pleasure to 'see' you all here. Thanks @jay.bsky.team & team for continuing to invest in this platform.

I've started a fellowship at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard w/in the ASML. I’ll be exploring product ideas focused on how social media companies can use AI & behavior change strategies to promote civil discourse and reduce polarization. cyber.harvard.edu/people/fay-j...
