AI vs. our bodies: How can we exists as women or a gender diverse people on social media

During the recent pandemic, the Content Moderation Tools use in Social Media has become more dependent on AI's. This situation has brought issues for all marginalized communities, especially women and gender diverse where their bodies and sometimes expressions of self are censored by these tools and when they ask for reasons the algorithm shows its BIAS, and the post never is shared again, this is making that women and gender diverse people censure themselves in order to fill the "Community Standards" and with this increasing the gender breach online. With this discussion, we want to think of possibles ways to solve it and share ideas for an online campaign that points to those AI's/CMT BIAS have.


How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

Moderating in a way that all that wants to participate can do it, taking the floor or writing in a shared document their ideas and inputs related to what we going to talk about during this session.

What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

we want to think of possibles ways to solve it, always thinking in human-centered or/and community-centered Social Media platforms. How we going to do it: we present a case or cases, then how we should be addressing them, and finally share ideas for an online campaign that points to those AI's/CMT BIAS have when it comes to gender.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

The main idea is to have an online campaign to address those BIAS and proposed solutions for this gender breach online and engage more people after the session.
