Hatespeech & Fake News: Zerstört Social Media unsere Demokratie? I 13 Fragen | unbubble

by

Facebook, Twitter, TikTok & Co: Die meisten können sich ein Leben ohne Social Media wohl kaum noch vorstellen. Einerseits können gesellschaftliche und politische Debatten online einfacher losgetreten und soziale Ungerechtigkeiten durch Bewegungen wie #MeToo und #BlackLivesMatter adressiert werden. Andererseits finden wir im Netz Hasskommentare und Radikalisierungen bestimmter Gruppen. Hinzu kommt, dass die Logik der Algorithmen für die Nutzer*innen oft nicht nachvollziehbar ist. Falschinformationen werden meist tausendfach geteilt, bevor sie von den Plattformen entfernt werden – wenn dies überhaupt passiert.

“Die sozialen Medien sind eine reale Bedrohung unserer Demokratie”, sagen die einen. So wie es gerade läuft, schadeten die Plattformen uns mehr, als dass sie uns nützen. “Nee, Social Media ist eher demokratiefördernd”, entgegnet die andere Seite. Online fänden Stimmen ein Gehör, die in der realen Welt oftmals ungehört blieben.

Bei 13 Fragen diskutieren wir, ob die sozialen Medien unsere Demokratie zerstören und welche Maßnahmen in Zukunft wichtig sein könnten, um das Netz zu einem demokratischeren Ort zu machen.

DESCRIPTION:

We, like you, have been hopeful for a strong, pleasant 2021 to recovery from a tumultuous year.
For those hoping 2021 would provide a calmer political environment… Sorry.

In just over a month, we’ve dealt with confusion over election results, a crisis in DC, another impeachment, and a host of issues on social media. That’s raised questions about how those platforms make and enforce their terms of service and what consequences come from those decisions.

But history has shown that exerting more control over speech tends not to yield the intended result.

In this episode of Out of Frame, we’ll take a look at how the corporate and cultural response to increasing tides of restrictions on the free exchange of information is not only misguided, but will also foster a world with even more problems.

The cleaners – social media’s shadow industry (1/2) | DW Documentary

by

Manila is home to a gigantic shadow industry of digital cleaning. It employs tens of thousands of people working 10-hour shifts for the big Silicon Valley corporations, deleting offensive photos and videos from social media sites.

Manila is a global content moderation hub for social media providers. This two-part documentary reveals how an army of low-paid contractors is tasked with deleting harrowing visual material from the internet. Complex decisions on censorship are delegated to people working under highly secretive criteria and stipulations. With some content not so easy to erase from their minds, viewing and rating an endless stream of often deeply disturbing images every day can have a lasting psychological impact. At the same time, the content reviewers are prohibited from talking about their experiences.

While examining the stories of five moderators, the film also addresses the global repercussions of online censorship and shows how fake news and hate speech are amplified by social media – which provide platforms for those eager to add fuel to existing social and political conflicts.
This debut production by filmmakers Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck looks at the rise and fall of the utopian dream of social media. It asks what limits there could and should be to the influence of the likes of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter on our societies.
