In today’s episode, we dive into an often overlooked but incredibly  important issue: content moderation in non-dominant languages,  specifically Maghrebi Arabic dialects. Recently, CDT released a  groundbreaking report titled "Moderating Maghrebi Arabic Content on  Social Media," which explores the challenges, gaps, and opportunities in  ensuring fair and effective moderation of Arabic content on social platforms.

After the 2011 Arab spring in  Tunisia, Emna Mizouni and her team realised that there was little to no  information about the rich culture and heritage of their country, and  that needed fixing.

... Mizouni said al-Hathloul is viewed as a role model and an inspiration.

“She is a voice of the voiceless, this is why she was arrested,” Mizouni said. “Not because she did something wrong, but she spoke the truth.”

Outspoken women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul is getting her first taste of freedom after spending nearly 3 years in a Saudi jail. We talk to her friend Emna Mizouni about the international campaign that helped get Loujain released.

As two scholars who’ve spent a lot of time studying and within the  MENA region, we’re proud to know Emna Mizouni. She’s long been a figure of admiration for us within the region. Emna’s reputation as an activist goes beyond what she’s established and done in her home country of Tunisia. She’s well known in the region and internationally for her work within the global Wikimedia movement, especially within Arab and African countries.

Italian press interview about Carthagina 

It’s taken just 17 years for the free online resource Wikipedia to carve out a significant corner of the internet for a vast archive of human knowledge. As the fifth most popular web-based entity in the world, its 32.5 million editors upload an average of 600 new English articles to the site every day. But in 2018 - the year that marks a turning point for global connectivity, in which more people will be online than offline for the first time in history - Wikipedia is under increasing pressure to stand by its mission statement of ‘empowering and engaging people around the world’. To stay relevant, and with its coverage of almost every aspect of the Western world well established, Wikipedia is eyeing its next big challenge: Documenting the Global South.

On the biggest challenge in creating such a coalition with international pressure, Mizouni replied that there is no lack of expertise, as evident by the panel, on digital security in the region. What is needed is not only the knowledge to navigate the international community, but for all parties to put in the effort and energy to make something like this happen.
