The Transparency Trap

Short summary

Content moderation platforms face a 'glass box problem': regulators demand transparent explainability, but revealing moderation heuristics creates an evasion playbook. The EU's DSA and AI Act heighten pressure, with Meta, TikTok, and Reddit reporting 87-90% automation but high error rates. SHAP and TreeSHAP offer technical solutions for explainability without sacrificing detection accuracy.
