This is precisely the reason I won’t even have unofficial “chats” with Meta despite having been asked to - they don’t want to actually listen and instead want to ethics wash what they do by having these toothless committees. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/16/instagram-meta-lotte-rubaek-adviser-quits-failure-to-remove-self-harm-content-
@CatherineFlick If Meta won’t even automatically remove content identified as harmful by one of its own advisors (who is presumably more qualified to judge than most of the official moderators), I think we can be sure that the advisory committees are at best just for show, and more likely a cynical attempt to silence criticism.
