This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4,421 from Monday 14 July 2025.
Today's show is entitled Content Moderation.
It is hosted by Lee and is about 43 minutes long.
It carries an explicit flag.
The summary is, Lee talks to Ellsbeth about the role of content moderation on the internet.
Hi, I'm Lee, today I'm joined by Ellsbeth for the second time.
I'm going to talk with Ellsbeth today about the subject of content moderation in communities
and on the internet.
So, hi Ellsbeth.
Hi Lee.
I'm glad to be here.
Would you like to say what experiences you've had in terms of both being on the receiving
end of moderation or noticing it happening in communities and forums you've been part
of, but then also having a role in those communities so that you're actually moderating
things yourself?
I have been on the spectrum of content moderation since I guess the originally started with
like the AOL checkereds and aim and all that stuff, some forums and bulletin boards
and whatnot.
So content moderation is kind of like developed over time.
At first it was just people that were a part of the community helping moderate it, but
as social media has exponentially increased and with MMOs and stuff like that, content
moderation has shifted and adjusted and expanded and got to the point where there needs to be
a bit of oversight to who's moderating what they're moderating and how they're moderating
and then trying to find out as a company and just as internet people that are, you know,
citizens of the internet, I guess, of the world that way, the digital world.
There has been this shift to where there has to be like, you know, what actually is moderated
and where I started was just moderating in general as being one of those people that
is like, hey, you know, someone needs to get rid of the trolls from the forum and delete
their posts and whatnot and that shifted from that to eventually being a part of helping
moderate, like when my kids were gaming, when they were younger, I would help you part
of the parental kind of keeping an eye on things from there.
I cannot go into the specifics of it, but I have actually worked professionally as a
content moderator as things have developed and social media has grown.
Big social media groups require you to sign an NDA to be a moderator.
So I can't talk a whole lot about that, but I have been on that end and seen the worst
of the worst as it's happening and coming on and that helped me realize just how important
content moderation is.
Okay.
So what you're saying before is the context for moderation and this is normally online forums
and you also mentioned MMOs and those are massively multiplayer online games like role-playing
games.
Yeah.
And the things that are happening in those games are contributed to by a lot of people
who may be to some extent anonymous and there are very little limits inherently in what
they might contribute.
It might be pleasant, it might be off topic, it might be very obscene and there's a kind
of duty on the people running these platforms to keep the people they're safe and comfortable.
It's in their interests to do so to achieve that.
They may have volunteers or they may actually pay people or their own employees to step
in and take a role of making sure that what's happening on their service is above board
and is safe and is what everyone who's coming with a good will to use that facility expects
to happen.
Right.
And so you're saying that you've had experiences of being part of that as volunteer.
You've also had some professional involvement in that type of role.
Right.
It's a really, really big job that doesn't get enough credit.
What would you say are the main benefits to a community of some kind, of having people
who specific role it is to keep that community running smoothly?
And is it a matter of just saying what can't happen or is it also about them putting forward
and leading things in a more proactive way?
I think that any good social media content moderation position or even when I say social media,
I'm not just talking about like the big companies that people use for social media.
I'm talking also like MMOs and whatnot because it is a form of social media.
A good company will make certain that the people that are doing the moderation have a guideline.
That keeps the worst of the worst from happening while holding a fair balance
when, say, an adult has a conversation that maybe a child shouldn't have.
If they are paying attention to the nuances, you know,
what comes out of an adult's mouth isn't necessarily something that would be an issue to have
as long as it's moderated under PG-13 or as the case might be, you know, RX or whatnot.
If you're rating it like a movie system.
So there has to be a clear regulation and a clear guideline so that everybody that is working
as a content moderator has a guideline and knows clearly what the company wants.
When the company doesn't know that it becomes internal bias as the guideline,
the company I worked for, I think I can say without any concern about that company was very good
about knowing that some people are going to say things that other people aren't going to like
but aren't necessarily about them.
They were very good about supporting expression, individual expression,
while keeping the dirt, you know, the ugly stuff out of the picture.
It becomes necessary to train people how to not have internal bias
when they're watching interactions that they wouldn't necessarily support or accept in their real life
but aren't necessarily a problem.
So you're not becoming the thought police.
However, it also becomes just as equally important as somebody to say,
well, I don't think it's a big deal that this video showed up that, you know, I'm making something up.
I'm literally making something up here.
I'm not quoting anything that I've actually seen.
But like, if a parent is like smack in the crap out of their child and somebody flags that,
is it actually abuse in the context that it's at?
You know, social media companies that are worldwide need to factor in cultural context.
If you are somebody that is content moderating in the US,
you will often find them flagging negatively, content that in a third world country shouldn't be flagged.
Those things have to be taught.
And as a world community, content moderation becomes necessary to help people understand that
you may be wanting something to be removed because you don't like it.
You don't agree with it. You've reported it because where you're from,
it's just completely unethical.
And yet, in a country where horrible punishment isn't used as abuse,
so they don't think of it.
I mean, I'm not to say people don't get abused.
It happens worldwide, doesn't matter what the culture is,
but if the general consensus is, is we're going to address the people that are doing things to an extreme,
but sometimes a smack on the hand keeps a child from burning their fingers on the stovetop.
If you're trying to teach a child not to touch the burner on a stove,
there's a lot of countries where that sort of corporal punishment is just the cultural norm.
But I know for a factor in the US, that sort of thing would be condemned.
So there's a lot of nuance to content moderation that people don't even think about.
But then you have the extremes of think of all the horrors and stuff in this world that are going on,
and people have cameras where they can live stream.
There's a lot of wars going on, and people have cameras, and people have opinions,
and people want people to see what's going on.
So they live stream it, and that's not inherently necessarily a bad thing.
But what restrictions do you keep from having a platform that allows children 13 and over,
because that's typically the age, not all, but children that are 13 and older watching horrific war crimes live?
That can cause children that aren't even in that environment to have PTSD.
I'm not a psychologist. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a therapist.
I want to make that abundantly clear.
But we all know from all of the historical events that happened from watching the
challenger explode to watching 9-11, the Oklahoma City bombing, events,
and this is just in the US that things that I have experienced and witnessed.
And I'm talking about watching it on TV and media, not necessarily live actually there.
It has impact, and you have to know what to flag and what not to flag.
I could probably babble on that for a bit, but the reality is content moderation is very,
very, very nuanced. There's a lot of having to educate people not to hate other people,
or have judgments or preconceived biases that they're automatically just going to see,
as like in the US. We have people that are, we struggle with racism and whatnot, and
gender discrimination and judgment on gender identity and sexual identity and all those things.
And I'm sure those things are going around the world, but because I am most familiar with the US
right now, aside from my experiences overseas, which has been so long ago that a lot of this
cultural divide wasn't as evident, I think, is the word that I'm looking for.
I look at my experiences with just being a moderator and I'm thinking, wow, this is a big deal.
And our world didn't realize, like the internet happened so fast,
the world became connected so fast that the internal biases did not have time to take a moment to
sort themselves out. Sort themselves out. Yeah, it's suddenly seem more, it's just there.
To what extent do you think communities can be, as in real communities in real life,
to what extent do you think online communities can be self-correcting? It without the heavy-handed
intervention of official moderation. I think a basic group, like a Facebook group,
or, you know, I think those type of things can self-moderate as long as they're not too
large. If the community gets too large, then it's harder to self-moderate.
I think that groups of maybe a hundred or more, you're really pushing the boundaries
on what can be self-moderated. And I'm just thinking about like a second-life group.
You get more than 100 people in a group. It can be chaos if they're talking regularly.
You know, you have to have somebody that can keep an eye on what people are talking about.
I do a mentorship, I'm part of the mentor for the new people coming to second-life.
And I've experienced moments where people have said things that are like, I need to get
attention to this right now. And fortunately, that's rare because second-life is pretty
heavily moderated in its own weird way. It's a very self-moderated, to be honest.
But at the same time, there is a lot of things that happen everywhere. It doesn't matter
whether it's second-life or Facebook or TikTok or, you know, Instagram or Snapchat. It doesn't
matter what the social aspect is to it. There is going to be a need for moderation.
Do you think that if moderation is done with a light touch, but with strength when it's
needed, then that is yes, is enough to keep honest people honest, so to speak.
So as long as it's there, it's not needed. If it wasn't there, it would be needed.
Yeah, I think you're dead on on that. A light touch is always beneficial because everybody wants
to feel like, I mean, this is just about human decency and respect. People want to be
their own unique individual. They want to be able to have the authenticity to be able to say and
think what they want. And there is a time and place for that. Unfortunately, I think the internet
society, the digital world is still learning what that is. And a lot of people, because the internet
community grew so fast, you have a whole generational divide on what's appropriate to say and what's
not to say. And at this point, we have three generations of perspectives on what is acceptable
and what's not to say and do in an online world, whether it be, and it can go anywhere from just
not knowing basic email literacy and how to formulate an email professionally or to a friend or
to a family member or whatever. Granted, I'd have to think about that because I guess not the entire
world as it's connected is we are in bigger cities, regardless of where we are. But for the most
part, the world is connected in a way where there should be some common sense on what people are
saying. But there's a generation of people that are forced to get connected that don't want to get
connected, that are still speaking as if they have never left the small town that they
grew up in. So when you have an extremely narrow world view, it's not uncommon. In fact, it's just,
it's really difficult to learn how to communicate with somebody just because this is how you
communicated your whole life. And this is you individually. When you come at and say something
that is degrading and minimalizing of another human being, and it's not something you ever thought of,
like, you know, I grew up being called a retard. You know, that's not socially acceptable now.
You know, and I had an interaction with somebody in the last few months that they didn't think twice
about calling somebody a retard because that's what they grew up with. They had never been called
to task or how that might make somebody feel and how degrading it was. And when I had that conversation
with them, they were just like, oh, wow, I didn't even think about that. That was just banter. They
didn't mean anything by it. They weren't trying to degrade someone. They were just talking. And I'm
kind of like, well, maybe you shouldn't be just talking to people about things that are degrading.
And he's like, I didn't think before I spoke. And I'm like, you're right, you didn't. And that in
itself was a very difficult conversation to have. But at the same time, it was necessary to have that
conversation because they needed to know that they were not going to make people comfortable that
they were wanting to hang out with. And once it was addressed, it was like, oh, I'm not going to
say that again. I'm going to be respectful. I'm going to be kind. And I'll listen if you tell me
how something hurts. And that's essentially what content moderation is. People do it day to day.
They just don't realize they're doing it. Have you learned anything particularly technical
about the methods and the means of moderating that you think would be of interest to people that
maybe is not immediately obvious? That's a good question. Let me think about that for a second.
Because there's obviously tools like, you know, their software that allows you to keep track of
what's going on and to react and to document. So it's basically like another level of customer
service. But it's more like the customer isn't always right in this situation if that makes sense.
It'd be kind of like if somebody asked for a very well done burger and they made a big to do
about it, the whole restaurant heard it. And then they threw a fit when they got a very
well done burger. When really what they wanted was more like a medium well or medium.
And from their perspective, medium was well done. But they're not right. They asked for what they
asked for. The wait staff may have actually even described what well done was going to look
like and possibly taste like and whatnot. But in this case, the customer is throwing a fit
and demanding a refund, which is so common in this country, which is ridiculous. But
So the customer in this case, we're talking about people who've come to a platform in order to
talk to other people. Maybe people they know, right? People they don't know. And they have certain
expectations around what the other people will say or what they can expect to receive from the other
people. Or even their idea of who the other people are, whether those other people are just
volunteers or just other people themselves looking for information or other people are things to say.
Or whether these people who they expect to interact with are actually representing the company
or the business that is hosting the platform or is the topic of the conversation.
Right. There's a saying that I grew up with, suck it up, buttercup. And I'm thinking of that
in relation to the context to this as far as the customer isn't always right in social media
contexts is, you know, somebody can get mad that we're not, you know, a content moderator is
removing, you know, insensitive posts or even inflammatory or even just outright illegal content.
And they'll get upset that it's being removed and claim that it's like against freedom of speech
and individuality and whatnot. And then at the same time, you have to factor in that just because
one person is comfortable sharing all that information does not necessarily make it
something that the rest of the internet world needs to experience.
What's the importance of having a code of conduct for use of a forum?
The human decency people being treated with respect, just because you may be okay with some sort
of bantering and joking that it's a little off-putting to some people. Doesn't mean other people
will be okay with that. You know, I told, I raised my kids with the phrase, know your audience.
You know, I understood that kids when they're young want to be daring and say the cuss words
that they hear and stuff like that. So when I was raising my kids, I told them, I said, you need
to know your audience. If you want to experiment with using those words, do it around us.
So you're not offending anyone. You don't know if that's going to offend somebody else's
some sort of activities. And when you're out in public, you've got to watch yourself and be polite.
What I was wondering was specifically important is it that there should be guidelines written
down. Do you find that people even read these guidelines or they only read them when it comes to
things being said against them or them being moderated at that point that they need to be pointed
to these guidelines or, you know, that's that's a very good point. Let me ask you this much.
Even with as well as I know you, how many times have you read every single TOS that you
ever had to read it for something that you wanted to participate in? I don't think anyone ever has.
That's exactly my point. If you did not read the TOS, you don't know what the rules and guidelines are.
And there has to be some accountability for people that choose not to read the terms of service.
Those written down allows you to be able to go back and say, you signed
this when you decided to participate in this platform. You chose not to read it.
So you chose not to be knowledgeable and aware of the rules and guidelines that we're presenting
for the safety of all users, for the comfort and the peace of all users. They become absolutely
vital to be written down in that way, but it can also be used as a weapon for those who
accidentally break a term of service, for it's not intentional, or they just aren't flat out,
they're not trying to be malicious. So most places that I know of give a warning unless it's
like a specific rated infraction. So if it's an infraction that's like just
if it's an infraction worse, yes, if it's illegal to be honest, if it's something that would
like cause someone to harm or damage someone's psyche, then you have to have it. You have to
be able to do something about it. There are more minor cases where people can be left with a warning
so it's speed. And having it written down assures that there is something to fall back on when
you do have to do more than just give a warning, but also giving a warning allows them to refer
back to what they didn't read in the first place. It's like you signed these terms of service.
You agreed to abide by this. You did not, and this is how it was broken. It's just like gentle,
you know, a gentle, hey, you know, I'm sorry you chose to do this, but here's the consequence
of you choosing to do it. If we take a step back and look at the nature of these communities,
and obviously you've got a range of different experiences of different communities and
moderation been used in all of them, to some extent or lesser extent, do you think
that some communities are more suited for having the community decide what the rules are,
and some communities are more suited to having to have rules imposed by the person
or the company in authority? I think it depends on the community. That's a very good question,
though. If the community is fairly self-regulating already, it can be quite beneficial.
I think you would kind of directly answer the question. I think you're getting at if the
community is self-regulating, then it's fairly good that the people within it are then
contributing a lot into saying what are the nature of the rules that everyone is agreeing to
live in worldwide in this forum. I was kind of getting at like if it's say a computer game,
and the people who run the computer game are financially liable if there's any harm caused
unless able to delegate their responsibility. You're absolutely right, but that's where the
terms of service comes into play. Every game you will ever play, you will be signing a terms of
service. Every app that you ever log into or download, you will be signing a terms of service
because the companies, especially with the nature of technology, the companies become liable
if there's harm from their product. And when that happens, then they become more eager,
unfortunately, to restrict what you can and cannot say and do on the games. And if you want,
I think that's what most people don't realize is if you want to keep communities like
Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft and Call of Duty and Roblox and that's a big one there.
Roblox, because so much of that is kid-centered, there has to be a huge amount of content moderation.
They're getting smacked for not doing enough of it. That one is not a self-regulating community.
When you have children involved, it's not self-regulating. It's not possible for a child to consent
to agree to TOS, even if the parents download it for them.
How do we deal with a move to a more federated internet in which big services are not actually run
by a company. They're run by everyone who is part of that service. There is no single authority
in charge. How can moderation fit into that kind of socio-technical environment?
You have to have people willing not to get paid for that service and still provide equality.
But because you have to have people that are strong empathetic leaders in the community.
They see and value each individual for their worth individually and then help them guide them
to make choices that are better for the community without making them feel less than.
And that their opinion isn't valid because right now, the biggest thing we have with that sort
of thing is people wanting to boost their ego. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
That is not a bad thing at all and that's kind of why I pause there because there's nothing wrong
with the boosting of the ego. It's when you allow your ego to make you more important than anyone
else. That becomes the issue and that's probably the biggest struggle that I see with any
form of community that needs to be moderated is what is the ego level of the people that are
choosing to lead or getting paid to lead either way? There's a community in second life and I'm
going to use that y'all are going to hear that second life is kind of my hyper fixation. It's my
hobby. It's my love. But there's a community in second life that I love the way that the community
is run. There is someone who owns the regions of the community is on but they do not make the
people that are a part of the community feel like they're less than. They involve them in the
discussions of growth in the community. They involve people with the, you know, how do we handle
these situations? You know, if you have somebody that's disrupting the community, how do we want
to handle that? How do we want that person to feel? What's going on in that person's life that is
making them be disruptive? And instead of just like rejecting them, find out what's going on.
And I think there needs to be more of that in communities before we can successfully
take the commercialization out of social media. In your experience, how is content moderation
treated differently in different parts of the world? Is there a radically different approach in
different countries within the world? In my experience with the different social media,
as a user, because I am a user of TikTok. I am a user of Snapchat. I am a user of Facebook.
And I need to differentiate this between my work as a content moderator. But as a user,
I have observed that there are certain social media that is more regulated in a healthier way,
where the users receive less impact of what could be traumatic. I have seen some really raw and
ugly stuff on Facebook as a user. And I've also seen varying degrees to how fast something that
shouldn't stay up, where kids might be able to see it, or people that are not able to
consent to viewing stuff that would potentially impact them negatively. Snapchat is different in
the sense that other than stories, nothing really stays very long. I think that's a good way.
I don't even know where Snapchat is based out of. I'd have to look that up.
So that might be a different global perspective because Facebook is based out of the US.
Then Instagram is connected to Facebook. I've seen some stuff on there,
but it was actually more regulated before Facebook took over it, I think.
At least for my observation, I don't use it as much anymore because it's just become boring to me.
And then I think of all of the apps that I have used as a user, I think I have seen the least
content of things that would be disturbing, probably on TikTok, not to say that it's not there,
but I think it's something that when people try to start making things go viral on TikTok,
there's a little less of the negative stuff going viral, or it doesn't stay up as long as maybe
other social media. And again, I'm just scratching the service because there's all sorts of
social media. I've definitely seen firsthand how second-life handles moderation stuff,
and they try and get on it pretty fast. I think they could improve. Much of their love
second-life, I think they could improve because I have seen some stuff where I cannot believe
that's still sitting in the chat that long. Especially in second-life, there's a lot of individual
autonomy that is tolerated and accepted, but there are some things that just shouldn't be
in certain areas, and I've seen there be a little bit of delay on taking accountability
for getting those things away from what users can see. My kids were raised in the
Roblox and League of Legends and all that early on MMO stuff for kids, and that wasn't regulated
near where it should be. That's why you have lawsuits against Roblox and stuff like that.
Do you see content moderation mainly about censorship, or does it have more of a productive role,
more of a creative role to it? That's not just removing negatives, a kind of a positive side to
it, a sunny side. I think the sunny side is there's a lot of good that social media does about
connecting the world and introducing people to different world views. When you can literally
want someone cooking in a kitchen completely on the other side of the world and learn a new recipe
and listen to different accents and become more familiar, then you become more tolerant of the
things that are unfamiliar. I truly believe that social media done right and just internet
digitally can be done in a way that brings great tolerance and connection at peace in the world.
So moderation does impact that in a way because it's kind of like a parent protecting their
child from getting hurt. If you're running out into the street and a car's coming, the
parent's going to run up and snatch that child up and get him out of the street so they don't get
hurt, right? That's what content moderation is. So you mainly say it's safety but it's a safety
that facilitates the good stuff. Yeah. You're not going to stop the child from writing their
bike or running around and playing and if you do, then you repress that child's ability to be able
to think and be creative or even develop their logic, gills and whatnot. If you're always protecting
a child, they're never going to grow. But if you protect them when it's necessary, then they learn
the necessary boundaries to thrive. And I view content moderation that way.
Well, skills and life, knowledge and mindset might help someone be a successful content moderator.
Don't think your opinion or your worldview or your culture is right and the only way to live.
You have to be willing to suspend your individual opinions and allow someone else to have a
different worldview and a different opinion and the right to express those things in a safe and
healthy manner. And if you can be tolerant and view the world beyond the box that you grew up
and where you have experienced and realized that this world is huge and not everybody gets to be a
world traveler and not everybody gets to experience different cultures. And some people only
experience it from their little box. And if you can suspend your little box and see beyond that
and see when somebody's not intending to mean harm or they're trying to offer a different
perspective or whatnot, then you're able to thrive as a content moderator because you're helping
express themselves and you're helping other people see that expression so that they can see
beyond their box too. I think that's probably the biggest challenge people have in content
moderation is not being able to see the world from beyond their own perspectives.
So if you're going to advise someone who was very much interested in doing this kind of work
even voluntarily or as a career, what direction might you point them in? What sort of
things should they be doing to get good at it and maybe what's the way to get a foothold
into this type of work? First off, you need to know that it has an expiration date.
It does not matter how tough your skin is. It doesn't matter how open-minded you are.
You will see things as a content moderator that you will likely need mental health therapy for.
It's not going to happen all the time. In fact, the most of the time it's not going to be that.
It's going to be cute videos of cats and dogs and people expressing themselves and whatnot.
You know, or just people bantering back and forth, but you will see things that will traumatize you.
So go into it knowing that because if you do not know that,
you can wind up and also if the company that you work for happens to have like free therapy,
there's a reason they have it, use it. Don't be ashamed to get some mental health care
because it's a job that you will need to know how to regulate your emotions.
And I'm putting so much emphasis on that because I really mean it. Don't go into it if you don't
have a therapist or aren't willing to get one. Beyond that, you need to have a really great
appreciation for bringing communities together. If you're the person that is the life of the
party, but want a job that is behind the scenes doing good, this is a great job for you.
But know your limits and be willing to realize that your limits are probably going to be pushed
in a position like this. Are there any kind of practical skills that someone, if they've decided
and they think they have the right mindset and have what's needed? Are there practicalities
like qualifications or that kind of thing that you can work towards or like internships or that sort of thing?
It depends on whether you're wanting to do it as a full-time career or not. If you're wanting to
do it as a full-time career, you got to know where to look and even then it's hard to find.
Usually you know someone that knows someone that works there and you know at the whatever
company it is that is doing it and you get that connection that way. Check LinkedIn and
indeed be careful for scams on those two because in the last probably five years it's gone
from a really great place to get a job to a bunch of scam artists duplicating jobs and trying to
get people to go to their websites and whatnot. So just be careful on that. But there is
legitimate positions that are posted there. Be able to not just look for a position called
content moderator. They're almost never called content moderator. So be creative with your searches.
If you want to be a content moderator for a place that you know of, it's like a company that you
already know of, go look and see if they have any positions. Look at call centers. See if call
centers have any contracts with you know you're not going to know who you're working with but you know
not at first. So when you're looking for the position you're looking for a position that's about
you know well sometimes they will call it a content moderator position but they usually
guys it under like customer service that is not phone facing. So you're not taking inbound calls.
You're not taking inbound or outbound calls. You're completely virtual without any voice.
I stumbled on the position by accident that I had. Also be careful that they don't underpay you
because there's a lot of places that will try and pay you not what you're worth. So is there anything
that would suggest you that AI is already or will play a much larger role in sort of moderation
jobs that exist at the moment and and that these change going forward. Yeah two years ago I saw
way more content moderation jobs than I do now. If you pay any attention to the evolution of AI
the empathy in AI is increasing. I think AI in many ways is probably better than humans.
For content moderation as long as it's trained ethically and I really want to put the emphasis on
trained ethically. AI could be just as bad as humans the worst humans if it's trained by the worst
humans. So I don't think that it's actually going to be legitimately a position other than maybe
AI training long term. I don't necessarily agree with no human oversight though
because AI is not human and does not have the feelings and emotions that a human does
even if it can replicate the communication that's empathetic. So I think it's going towards AI.
I don't necessarily think without human oversight that is done ethically that that is the best
option. All right, Ellsworth thanks a lot for talking to the HPR audience about this. Is there
anything else that maybe hasn't been mentioned so far that you can think of? Yeah if you have ever
had a post removed on social media be grateful. While human error is a factor there is a dispute
system if you think something has been removed inaccurately or without good reason or good cause
use the dispute button but definitely be respectful to the folks that are moderating
stuff because they're going through a lot. They see the worst things that you will never see.
All right, with that goodbye to everyone. Goodbye to Ellsworth and I hope you've enjoyed listening to this.
