A presentation by Dr. Carolina Are (Northumbria University). This event is part of the Digital Governance Research Colloquium hosted by the Centre for Digital Governance.
In this talk, Dr. Carolina Are will discuss social media censorship of nudity, its relationship with the patriarchy and with whorephobia, sharing some insights from her latest studies on shadowbanning, de-platforming and mass reporting of sex workers and LGBTQIA+ activists. You'll leave this talk with new ideas about what pole dancing can teach tech companies about content governance as well as with tips, gossip and concerns about Big Tech's power over our bodies.
