"To avoid those fiascos, the path forward requires both cooperation and codification. “With mushy categories like ‘extremism,’ you run the risk of censoring political speech or dissent,” says Danielle Citron, who teaches law at the University of Maryland. “But if the definition of nonconsensual porn is narrow enough, we could have a shared industry database that avoids the pitfalls.” Beyond agreeing to a specific definition of revenge porn, Citron says, companies need to educate their content moderators about the possibility of unintentional censorship, so that missteps don’t happen."
