When content moderation disappears from social media: What are the consequences and what can CSOs do?

The recent announcement from Mark Zuckerberg on the drastic changes for content moderation in the US and shifts in policies around political and harmful content have raised significant concerns among CSOs and digital rights actors.

In this panel discussion will bring together experts from the fields of digital governance, human rights, and CSOs working on theses issues and have a discussion around:

  • How big tech’s content moderation policies are evolving—including the move away from human moderation and the implications of AI-driven enforcement.
  • The risks for CSOs and marginalised communities, particularly regarding online harassment, misinformation, and political discourse.
  • Broader consequences for free expression and democracy, with an emphasis on regulatory responses, legal challenges, and the role of governments.

The Digital Dialogue event series is jointly organised since 2022 by Civic Tech Africa (CTIN) in Johannesburg and the International Civil Society Centre in Berlin.
