Platforms know about hate speech, and accept trusted reports of it, but frequently fail to act, breaking their agreements with governments. Where's the push back? en.itu.dk/About-ITU/Press/Ne…

New Pre-print out today! We're releasing Political DEBATE -- a new set of language models for zero/few-shot classification of political text. The models are open source, small enough to run on your laptop, and as good as proprietary LLMs within domain. arxiv.org/pdf/2409.02078

I am looking for a postdoc (3 years) to work with me on investigating how cognitive biases might be hindering our understanding of economic inequality and hinder support for redistribution

One of our key sources of human data is no longer fully “human"!
We estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers on MTurk used large language models (LLMs) in a text production task - which may increase as ChatGPT and the like become more popular and powerful.

Does anyone have research/data on demographic differences in user engagement with content moderation?
I know Jon Penney's work on DMCA counternotice. But more on gender, race, etc. disparities in users seeking removal of content, appealing removals, etc. would be great.
