Sarah T. Roberts: Behind the Screen (2019, Yale University Press) 4 stars

The labor of moderation

No rating

It’s an interesting time to read Behind the Screen, especially for Roberts's distinction between community standards and corporate social media moderation. She raises the question of whether large scale, centralized, for-profit networks can ever really be conducive to community — and of the damage they do to those who work to maintain the illusion that they can.
