Taking Back Control

Taking Back Control

Online platforms are riddled with harassment, which significantly impacts the well-being of users. Unfortunately, the content moderation solutions provided by platforms often disappoint end users as they fail to equip individuals with sufficient controls for their personal situations. In this talk, the speaker, who personally experienced a sustained harassment campaign on Twitter, shares how she regained control by constructing an automated, personalized, and collaborative anti-harassment system to protect herself, which has proven to be effective. The experience of developing—and re-developing in the face of repeated platform API changes and restrictions—highlights many design issues that make managing severe online harassment an enormous challenge, which the speaker will discuss.
