Topic of Discussion: social media as recordkeepers of activism

Isabella (@isabella on Mattermost) is currently working as program manager for Latin America at Meedan, dedicating her skills to a project on Recordkeepers in Latin America. She is a journalist and tech person. See her project here.

• In the last few years in Latin America, we have seen a surge in feminist movements and they are most present on social media, they use the platforms to organize to spread their message and work. So when we talk about activist history, we talk about that activism which is digital born.

• In Latin America, there is a past of dictatorships and erasure of history and resistance movements. So as we are seeing this rise in military influence in the region, the idea of Isabella’s project is to spread awareness that this can happen again, and that now they have the illusion of freedom but social media platforms can be used to moderate this and informe.

• When we talk about the tension that exists about corporate social media platforms being record keepers, we know that Facebook and Instagram content policy is a filed mine. We have seen content mostly related to freedom of expression and diversity being taken down. The research conducted by Salty with their readers on content policing by social media platforms related to algorithm bias when it's focused on race, queer and gender, show how marginalized communities are the most affected by Instagram content policies.
