The Need for Gender-Sensitive Algorithms

One of the critical areas where social media platforms fall short is in the design and implementation of gender-sensitive algorithms. These algorithms, often responsible for content curation and moderation, lack the sophistication to contextually understand and differentiate content that may be empowering or informative for women from that which is abusive or harmful. This technological gap suggests that platforms are not yet doing enough to protect women from unwarranted censorship, overlooking the nuances of gender dynamics online.
