It is known that the complexity and scalability of content moderation requires the use of algorithms to mediate the information in circulation. However, despite algorithms increasingly organizing circulating information, the understanding of how large digital platforms operate these algorithms in the context of content moderation needs to be deepened.
The growth of the dissemination of disinformation content in recent years generates even more pressure on the need to advance transparency in the use of algorithms for content moderation. Surprisingly, few materials can be found on this specific correlation, which was the incentive for setting this project off. In our new report, Algorithmic Transparency and Disinformation: a multisectoral approach, we investigate the intersections between combating disinformation and algorithmic transparency through interviews with experts from the third sector, academia, and the public and private sectors.
Our interviewees were: Gianclaudio Malgieri (academy), Natália Neris (private sector), Vidushi Marda (civil society) and Xabier Lareo (public sector).
The report summarizes the consensus and divergences between the interviews, in addition to making the interviews available in full.
