Automated Content Regulation (Sexuality Education and Health Information)

Sexual health organisations in Australia and internationally have expressed frustration regarding the impact of automated platform regulation on their ability to conduct social marketing and sexual health promotion campaigns (and research recruitment) on social media platforms. To address this issue, this project brings together a number of impacted organisations and institutions globally to reveal impacts and develop solutions.

This project will examine how government agencies understand content regulation, how NGOs and health promotion and advocacy organisations experience the implementation of content regulation across the platforms on which they operate, and how platform regulators and moderators might better distinguish between education and information content, and other forms of sexual texts and imagery.
