SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT MODERATION: THE CASE OF RUSSIA’S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE

Анотація

The extent to which russia's war against Ukraine is performed and publicized online is noteworthy.It demonstrated how social media is changing the way war is reported, experienced, and properly understood.Social media posts have evolved into a key information source for both traditional media and open-source intelligence gatherers.Governments may make use of social media as a "tool" to further military objectives.Making sure the world receives information about Ukraine straight from Ukraine is one of the goals.Platforms explain the blocking of content related to russia's war primarily due to violations of community standards.Algorithms of social media more often mark the content of Ukrainian users as "sensitive" (for example, photos of the bodies of civilians and (or) military personnel).At the same time, the publication of such information helps to document the consequences of war crimes, to raise the awareness of the world community, contribute to the provision of international financial, humanitarian, legal and military aid to Ukraine.Using keywords, which are prohibited by the community standards regardless of their value, relevance, or significance, is the primary cause of social media post blocking.The practice of combating so-called "border content", where materials are not shown in news feeds but are not blocked, has become common.It is crucial to bring in unprejudiced evaluators who have knowledge of the context and appropriate cultural and political background.We also consider it permissible to partially revise the requirements of the standards regarding the prohibition of "hate speech".Social media should also take the context of each individual case into account.
