Common Ground Events

Event Description

Common Ground will be hosting a roleplaying game over dinner. We will be playing a game called "Meta Oversight Board" that examines how social media should censor or moderate political posts. The game allows us to explore current issues with a real case study.

This game 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 and flagged social media posts, students debate how political and cultural contexts complicate a single understanding of content moderation online.
