The bots that try to moderate speech online are doing a terrible job, and the humans in charge of the biggest tech companies aren’t doing any better. The internet’s promise was as a space where everyone could have their say. But today, just a few platforms get to decide what billions of people see and say online. What’s a better way forward? How can we get back to a world where communities and people decide what’s best for content moderation, rather than tech billionaires or government dictates?  Join Daphne Keller, from Stanford’s Centre for the Internet and Society, in conversation with  EFF’s Cindy Cohn and Danny O’Brien about a better way to moderate speech online. If you have any feedback on this episode, please email podcast@eff.org.
