> “ Social media companies are arguing that the most scalable solution is also the best solution. That’s a very convenient outcome,” said Nicholas. “What’s going to work best is going to work best for each different language … and we don’t even see social media companies even considering that.” I think this is a misreading of their position. I don't think any social media company would say it's bad or unhelpful to research new strategies which might enable better moderation of Amharic content. But if we reject the idea that there is a solution that works acceptably for languages in general, and insist on social media companies auditing every individual language, that raises obvious and uncomfortable questions about support for smaller languages. Should a social media company which hasn't yet been able to verify the health of its Swazi moderation tools prohibit you from posting in Swazi?
