Poor Meta.Only three Washington Supreme Court justices believed the social media giant’s complaint that it’s “unduly burdened” by the state’s political campaign disclosure law.The law requires media companies selling political advertising to disclose records of those ads when asked by a member of the public. It’s part of Washington’s long commitment to transparency around political campaigns.Instead of complying, Meta pitched a fit, just like it did in other places when asked to comply with legal obligations facing other media companies.Call me a hypocrite: I enjoy the company’s products but find its corporate behavior appalling.In this case, Meta admitted it violated…

But Hera Hussain is worried that cultural sensitivities are not recognised by tech companies, where reported images are often first assessed by an AI moderation system trained largely to detect nudity. Identifying images that could be problematic is much more nuanced than spotting bare skin and Hussain says a user may need to be very persistent to make sure a human moderator reviews a picture.There is concern that there is not enough human oversight as companies lean on cheaper automated tools and consolidate regional expertise into teams covering vast, diverse areas. For example, in a disclosure to the US Senate…
