¿Dónde termina la libertad de expresión y dónde comienza el derecho a ser escuchado?

Esa es la pregunta de fondo sobre la regulación de contenidos en redes sociales.

Las plataformas que alguna vez fueron espacios donde se podía decir cualquier cosa con total libertad han ido restringiendo sus contenidos al punto de que, en algunos casos, los llamados 'medios tradicionales' permiten un margen de expresión más amplio.

Las redes sociales han limitado la libertad de expresión con la idea de proteger la diversidad, pero en muchos casos han terminado censurando opiniones incómodas. La presión de grupos ha logrado silenciar a quienes piensan diferente, mientras que cada nueva restricción crea más dudas sobre qué se puede decir sin correr el riesgo de ser bloqueado. En lugar de fomentar el debate, han hecho que muchos prefieran callar antes que enfrentar la posibilidad de ser "cancelados".

Me parecen interesantes algunos de los conceptos de este artículo de @FayOnTheGo. Publicado hoy en @Milenio.

I wrote an op-ed for @nytopinion column about the complexities of balancing free expression and online safety — and how we lose out when we back away from safety measures. Check it out here.

I care deeply about ensuring we can have constructive dialog across a range of views, on platforms like this one. I appreciate the @nytopinion team giving me an opportunity to speak to some of the challenges that surround this work.

Considering building a tool to support more civil dialogue online in public forums where debate & disagreement are common.
I'd love to see more perspective taking in replies but the character limits of a 'tweet' make this challenging.
Would you use a perspective-taking tool?

It's a pleasure to join the @Harvard @BKCHarvard Applied Social Media Lab for a short-term fellowship diving into how we might reimagine social media in a way that promotes civility, reduces toxicity and fosters more connection. https://t.co/8pRMr4PKWw

After an action packed year on @Twitter’s Trust and Safety team, I’ve left the flock to join @Nextdoor as their new Head of Product for Neighborhood Vitality (Trust & Safety + Constructive Conversations).

[Fay Johnson @FayOnTheGo]

I’m super proud of the things my team shipped over the last year — from Mentions controls to symptoms first reporting for customers and a more digestible privacy policy (including a fun interactive video game!). Was an honor to support some mad talented people.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

[Fay Johnson @FayOnTheGo]

Super Proud of my team! Symptoms-first, user friendly reporting. Glad to see this rolled out globally.

SCOOP: Top antiabortion leaders and GOP lawmakers have been meeting behind the scenes to strategize for a national abortion ban, mobilizing around a proposal that would outlaw the procedure at 6 weeks.

Here’s what I’ve learned about their plans 🧵https://t.co/U58pxdMVAQ

A few months ago, in that blurry haze of new motherhood, I left my infant daughter Eureka on the couch for just a few seconds. She rolled and slipped and tumbled to the floor, hitting her head, then burst out crying. /a thread to #SaveMelissaLucio
