Ethics of Content Moderation
I am sharing some hopefully relevant sources for thinking about ethical issues related to social media content moderation that go beyond just algorithmic bias.
Ozanne, M., Bhandari, A., Bazarova, N. N., & DiFranzo, D. (2022). Shall AI moderators be made visible? Perception of accountability and trust in moderation systems on social media platforms. Big Data & Society, 9(2). https://doi.org/10.1177/20539517221115666 (Original work published 2022)
Trujillo, A., Fagni, T., & Cresci, S. (2025). The DSA Transparency Database: Auditing Self-reported Moderation Actions by Social Media. https://doi.org/10.1145/3711085
I will update later with more.

From a fiction perspective, there was a (fairly controversial) book called We Had To Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets which I (mostly) enjoyed.
