Art Under Review: Censorship, Content Moderation, and Artists’ Rights Online (Virtual)

This presentation will explore how online content moderation policies affect artistic expression on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, particularly when artwork is removed, restricted, or censored. It will examine the legal framework governing online censorship, including First Amendment considerations, and the options available to artists challenging these decisions, such as Meta’s internal appeals process and Oversight Board. Through real-world examples and interactive hypotheticals, the presentation will offer practical guidance for artists navigating content restrictions online.
