In this episode, we delve into the complex and paradoxical role of content moderation in both fostering and policing hate speech online. We'll explore the thin line between freedom of expression and hate speech, and how moderators navigate this challenging terrain. We'll hear from content moderators who have been on the front lines of this battle, and discuss the psychological impact of being exposed to such content.
