Sessions
Localization Lab has conducted research with quantitative and qualitative measures to assess the quality of the Arabic translation of Facebook and Youtube’s policies and its accessibility to the platforms’ users in Arabic-speaking countries. Participants can expect to learn the importance of the translation of these policies to combat hate speech, misinformation, and disinformation online and the potential negative impacts of poorly translated policies on users of these platforms.
Participants will have a stronger understanding of how harmful speech on social media manifests and how it fuels conflict regardless of context.
Participants will gain insight into the limitations of AI content moderation and current practices
Panellists will discuss solutions (policy, advocacy, capacity building, awareness raising) and how these could contribute to improving conflict situations.
