Meta's acknowledgment of the flaws in its automated content moderation is a step in the right direction, especially regarding the censorship of LGBTQ+ content that has arisen from these tools.
Censorship is not a solution to misinformation. Social media companies should explore diverse tools like crowd-sourced fact-checking and professional expertise to address harmful speech effectively.
Meta should maintain a dual approach to moderation, employing both community-driven and expert fact-checking resources to tackle misinformation while avoiding bias and censorship.
While addressing misinformation is crucial, Meta must widen its focus to include better practices on other sensitive issues like LGBTQ speech, political dissent, and sex worker rights.
