Perhaps one of the most impactful applications of blockchain could be its role in improving content moderation systems, and making the Internet a more inclusive (and less hateful) place.

Diversity in tech matters because technology is political, and who makes decisions in technology matters.

Blockchain presents us with the opportunity to have honest discussions on the Internet, rather than biased distortions of reality. The Internet as it exists today is not a great place for marginalized voices, in part because the majority of technologies that make up our online communities were created by white, cis men.

As such, there is a need for participatory moderation systems that integrate feminist philosophy directly into UX and algorithms with the aim of creating a better Internet that puts traditionally marginalized voices at its center.

A more equitable approach to moderation requires participatory data classification systems built on the blockchain. In this model, users have a say on how their content is classified through a tokenized data labeling system, and can hold secure elections to vote on community guidelines and elect moderators.

This allows for the exclusion of exploitative and hateful content without unfairly de-platforming marginalized creators.

Ethical, anonymous, and diverse data models generated in collaboration with users will become increasingly valuable as the public demands more inclusive online experiences.
