inQuestion about the unintended consequences of hate speech algorithms on cultural content
What gets me is how this ties into bigger data gaps. Like logan_perrez said, it's erasure, but it's also about who gets to build these systems in the first place. If the teams making these bots don't include people from those cultures, the code will always be blind to their words. It's not just deleting posts, it's making whole languages invisible online over time. That silence in digital spaces can make it harder for younger generations to connect with their heritage.
