2018 Report Censorship Edition By Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
public pressure and scrutiny around content moderation have paid off
EFF has published their 2018 Report, assessing companies’ policies against five all-new criteria:
• Transparency in reporting government takedown requests based on both legal requests and requests alleging platform policy violations
• Providing meaningful notice to users of every content takedown and account suspension
• Providing users with an appeals process to dispute takedowns and suspensions
• Limiting the geographic scope of takedowns when possible
Citing EFF
“We are at a critical moment for free expression online and for the role of Internet intermediaries in the fabric of democratic societies. In particular, governments around the world have been pushing companies to take down more speech than ever before. What responsibilities do the platforms that directly host our speech have to protect—or take down—certain types of expression when the government comes knocking?”
The Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and YouTube have best results.
