凯蒂·保罗（Katie Paul）并没有打算成为一名大型科技监督机构。她是一名考古学家和人类学家，通过培训，她在阿拉伯之春之后从挖掘地点转移到网站，当时她意识到社交媒体使犯罪贩运者能够为马赛克和其他文化古物创建一个新的黑人市场。“That’s what led me into tech policy and trying to understand why such nefarious content is allowed online,” says Paul, who in the summer of 2020 joined the Tech Transparency Project, an initiative of the non-partisan not-for-profit Campaign for Accountability. Paul brings the tools of ethnographic research to rooting out white supremacists and domestic extremists on Facebook. She operates exactly as an average user would—with the exception of using a fake account for security purposes—following the path of recommendations that Facebook makes. Once she enters a private community, she’s merely an observer, matching patterns and collecting evidence of what’s really happening in these unmoderated, insulated spaces.
