论文摘要

本文研究了社交媒体平台Reddit上关注内容策略和用户态度的转变。我们通过重点关注Admins(主持人)对Reddit内容策略更新的五个帖子的一般Reddit用户的评论来做到这一点。这五个涉及允许在Reddit上发布哪种内容的性质,以及违反这些政策的内容将采取哪些措施。我们使用主题建模来探测红色的一般话语如何围绕内容的限制,后来又是仇恨言论的局限性,或者煽动暴力对特定群体的限制。我们表明,内容和用户态度都明显转移,可以与当代社会动荡以及新通过的法律和法规有关,并为有关仇恨言论节奏的更广泛讨论做出了贡献。

This paper examines the shift in focus on content policies and user attitudes on the social media platform Reddit. We do this by focusing on comments from general Reddit users from five posts made by admins (moderators) on updates to Reddit Content Policy. All five concern the nature of what kind of content is allowed to be posted on Reddit, and which measures will be taken against content that violates these policies. We use topic modeling to probe how the general discourse for Redditors has changed around limitations on content, and later, limitations on hate speech, or speech that incites violence against a particular group. We show that there is a clear shift in both the contents and the user attitudes that can be linked to contemporary societal upheaval as well as newly passed laws and regulations, and contribute to the wider discussion on hate speech moderation.
