New publication: Co-designing content moderation guidelines for AutSPACEs

2023-07-01

Together with the larger AutSPACEs team and community, our team member Bastian has co-authored a preprint on How to co-create content moderation policies: The case of the AutSPACEs project that is now available on SocArXiv.

AutSPACEs is a citizen science project aimed at collecting qualitative data on sensory processing in autism. As the project aims to enable participants to optionally publish their experiences on the website, a content moderation strategy was needed. And given the strong values on ethical co-design, these content moderation guidelines were co-developed between researchers and autistic volunteer participants.

The manuscript outlines both how this co-creation process was facilitated and implemented – but also highlights how this process helped to uncover community-specific moderation dilemmas and how they were addressed.
