In today\u2019s episode, we dive into an often overlooked but incredibly important issue: content moderation in non-dominant languages, specifically Maghrebi Arabic dialects. Recently, CDT released a groundbreaking report titled “Moderating Maghrebi Arabic Content on Social Media<\/a>,” which explores the challenges, gaps, and opportunities in ensuring fair and effective moderation of Arabic content on social platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To unpack these insights, we\u2019ll be joined by two leading experts in the field: Mona Elswah, a researcher in digital rights and content moderation, and Fellow of the Content Moderation for Languages in the Global South Project at CDT; and Emna Mizouni, a Tunisian digital rights advocate, community leader, and founder-CEO of Digital Citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll discuss the unique hurdles faced by Maghrebi Arabic speakers online, why it’s critical for platforms to address these gaps, and what needs to change to make content moderation more inclusive and equitable for all users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
