As social media regulation comes into force, regulators are requiring platforms to share an unprecedented amount of data for proof of compliance. However, determining the correct data to measure impact is challenging. For the past two years, the Data and Implementation Team at the Oversight Board, an independent body created by Meta to tackle difficult content moderation challenges, has been working to create a data-driven framework to hold the company accountable and ensure that users feel the impact of its recommendations. In this presentation, Data and Implementation Officer Carly Miller will discuss the lessons learned from taking policy oversight from theory to practice. Through a series of case studies, this presentation explores the challenges of tracking moderation impacts on small communities, improved automated detection efforts, and changes to user behavior.
