➡️ The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) studied how content moderation systems operate across multiple regions in the Global South, focusing on low-resource languages (the different Maghrebi Arabic Dialects, Kiswahili, Tamil, and Quechua), with the support of the Internet Society Foundation Research grant program.
