reddit_Reddit的零容忍政策展示了如何处理仇恨言论

reddit

On June 29, Reddit launched its new content policy, which has resulted in the closure of almost 7,000 threads (known as subreddits), some as famous as The_Donald, which offered a forum for some 800,000 Donald Trump fans to create, share and spread conspiracy theories, along with racist, misogynist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic content.

6月29日， Reddit推出了新的内容政策 ，该政策导致将近7,000个主题被关闭 (称为subreddit)，其中一些以 The_Donald 闻名 ，该论坛为约80万唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)粉丝提供了一个论坛，以创建，分享和传播阴谋论，以及种族主义，厌女症，伊斯兰和反犹太主义内容。

Almost two months later, the company has published statistics that show a significant reduction of 18% in the number of comments qualified as hate speech, eliminated by human moderators or by AutoModerator, its artificial intelligence tool. The removed subreddits were visited by about 365,000 users every day, and fell into three categories: forums with names or descriptions that directly alluded to hate speech, those with a large amount of such content, or those that shared such content.

大约两个月后， 该公司发布的统计数据表明，被人类主持人或其人工智能工具AutoModerator淘汰的符合仇恨言论的评论数量 大幅减少了18％ 。 每天大约有36.5万用户访问了已删除的子目录，并将其分为三类：名称或描述直接涉及仇恨言论的论坛，具有此类内容的论坛或共享此类内容的论坛。

The results of Reddit’s tougher policy are extremely encouraging: while many users have tried to continue to encourage hate speech by creating more sophisticated content, it’s clear that providing moderators with clear guidelines and removing forums where their moderators are not active works, clearly contributing to the health of the conversation.

Reddit采取强硬政策的结果令人鼓舞：尽管许多用户试图通过创建更复杂的内容来继续鼓励仇恨言论，但很明显，为主持人提供了明确的指南，并删除了其主持人不活跃的论坛，这显然有助于对话的健康状况。

The fact that such a change is working in an environment like Reddit, which is heavily used and has a completely open username policy, whereby users can call themselves whatever they want and create whatever accounts they want, shows that hate speech is not necessarily about removing anonymity. Some people’s obsession with checking accounts to ensure that they belong to a particular person is often a way of constraining, conditioning and impoverishing the conversation; in many cases, some people simply cannot express their opinions due to either social pressure or the likely repercussions of revealing their identity.

此类更改可在Reddit这样的环境中使用，该环境使用率很高并且具有完全开放的用户名策略，用户可以根据自己的意愿随意调用并创建所需的帐户，这一事实表明，仇恨言论并不一定意味着删除匿名。 有些人迷恋于核对账户以确保他们属于某个特定的人，这通常是限制，限制和削弱对话的一种方式。 在许多情况下，由于社会压力或透露身份的可能后果，有些人根本无法表达自己的意见。

Ending hate speech means designing clear mechanisms that allow anyone to report, eliminate and cancel accounts associated with it, and these accounts will be systematically eliminated time and again, regardless of how often they seek to reappear in a new guise. It is a question of clarity, and above all, of not prioritizing, as some social networks clearly do, traffic or income derived from hate speech. It is simply a matter of excluding from the conversation those who are not capable of behaving appropriately.

消除仇恨言论意味着要设计明确的机制，允许任何人举报，消除和取消与之相关的帐户，而这些帐户将一次又一次被系统地消除，而不论他们试图以新的幌子重新出现的频率。 这是一个明确的问题，最重要的是，不像某些社交网络明显地那样优先考虑仇恨言论带来的流量或收入。 只是将无法适当表现的人排除在对话之外。

Reddit has been one of the most toxic pages on the web for a long time, but the company is now clearly on the right track. Let’s hope it sets an example.

长期以来，Reddit一直是网络上最有害的网页之一，但该公司现在显然走上了正确的道路。 希望它能树立榜样。
