| Title | The Knin Cartoon: The Clash Of Public And Private Content Moderation Rules On Social Media Platforms |
| Summary | This thesis examines the challenges and complexities of content moderation on social media platforms (SMPs) within the overlapping regulatory frameworks at local, EU, and global levels. By focusing on the case study of the Knin Cartoon, which glorifies the controversial Croatian military operation “Operation Storm,” the thesis explores the conflicting content moderation rules of the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Meta’s Oversight Board (OB). While the DSA provides a public regulatory framework aimed at harmonizing content moderation across EU member states, Meta’s OB operates as a private oversight body with its own set of rules and standards. This clash of public and private moderation rules results in the tensions and uncertainties faced by global digital platforms in managing content that intersects diverse legal and cultural contexts. Through an analysis of the Knin Cartoon case from the perspective of both the public regulatory framework and Meta’s self-regulatory mechanism, the thesis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these conflicts. |
