Democratic Ground Truth
With nuanced and expanding user-generated content, determining an accurate ground truth of a policy breach at scale seems to be the promise of unrealised technological breakthroughs. Assize introduces a radical course correction that unleashes the power of democracy and community participation to generate a distilled judgement on the fate of flagged content.
Incentivized Accuracy
With billions of pieces of content posted to social media platforms every day, existing moderation systems tend towards speed and throughput at the cost of careful deliberation. Individuals can bring a bias to decision making which becomes problematic when access to online discourse is at risk. Assize arbiters are rewarded for accurate discernment with respect to the consensus.
A Scalable Protocol
The spectrum of content created by diverse and fast-paced communities online requires adequate insight and cultural knowledge when it comes to the arbitration of a potential policy breach. Assize encourages and supports vast and varied participation by anybody that wants to be involved and earn money from content moderation.
Anonymized Arbitration
Content has the ability to divide opinions, and in some cases become the center of hostile public discourse. The people tasked with content moderation often find themselves personally involved in making a lose-lose decision that simultaneously quells and enrages communities. Anonymisation is at the very core of the Assize ecosystem, leveraging blockchain and smart-contract technologies to protect the identity of the arbiters and the cases they mediate.
