Microgame Online Workshop: Meta Oversight Board (Again!)

Join us on Tuesday, August 5 at 2 pm Eastern for an online microgame workshop featuring The Meta Oversight Board: Content Moderation vs. Political Speech on Social Media. This workshop includes a full play-through of the two scenarios within the Meta Oversight Board microgame, as well as set-up, debrief, and a Q&A session to help you understand how best to run the microgame in your own classroom. 

As of Monday, July 21 there are still a few spots left for the July 29th workshop of Meta Oversight Board (but not for Revolting Nuns).

THE MICROGAME 

META OVERSIGHT BOARD
The Meta Oversight Board: Content Moderation vs. Political Speech on Social Media immerses students in the challenges of balancing digital free speech with public safety and human rights. Players take on roles as members of Meta’s Oversight Board or one of five factions advocating different values around platforms’ role in society. Using real-world cases of banned social media posts, students debate how political and cultural contexts complicate a single understanding of content moderation online. Players must weigh political expression against safety, clash over what counts as “newsworthy,” and pitch policy solutions—from age-gating and protest shields to transparency archives. 

The game consists of two distinct scenarios, one focused on controversial speech by politicians in Cambodia and Pakistan, and the other on controversial speech by protestors in Colombia and Iran. Instructors can choose to use either of these scenarios independently, or use both together. In this workshop, we will play through both scenarios.
