仇恨言论,审查和言论自由:Reddit不断变化的政策

Hate speech, Censorship, and Freedom of Speech: The Changing Policies of Reddit

Waseda University(早稻田大学)

Elissa Nakajima Wickham, Emily Öhman

摘要:

本文探讨了社交媒体平台Reddit的内容政策和用户态度的转变。我们通过关注一般Reddit用户对Reddit内容政策更新的五个帖子的评论来做到这一点。这五个问题都涉及到允许在Reddit上发布什么样的内容,以及将对违反这些政策的内容采取哪些措施。我们使用主题建模来探讨Redditors的一般话语如何围绕内容限制发生变化,以及后来对仇恨言论或煽动针对特定群体的暴力言论的限制。我们发现,内容和用户态度都有明显的转变,这与当代社会动荡以及新通过的法律法规有关,并有助于对仇恨言论节制进行更广泛的讨论。

英文摘要:

This paper examines the shift in focus on content policies and user attitudes on the social media platform Reddit. We do this by focusing on comments from general Reddit users from five posts made by admins (moderators) on updates to Reddit Content Policy. All five concern the nature of what kind of content is allowed to be posted on Reddit, and which measures will be taken against content that violates these policies. We use topic modeling to probe how the general discourse for Redditors has changed around limitations on content, and later, limitations on hate speech, or speech that incites violence against a particular group. We show that there is a clear shift in both the contents and the user attitudes that can be linked to contemporary societal upheaval as well as newly passed laws and regulations, and contribute to the wider discussion on hate speech moderation.
