===User moderation=== User moderation allows any user to moderate any other user's contributions. Billions of people are currently making decisions on what to share, forward or give visibility to on a daily basis.<ref name="anf">{{cite journal |last1=Hartmann |first1=Ivar A. |date=April 2020 |title=A new framework for online content moderation |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0267364919303875 |journal=Computer Law & Security Review |volume=36 |pages=3 |doi=10.1016/j.clsr.2019.105376 |s2cid=209063940 |access-date=25 May 2022|url-access=subscription }}</ref> On a large site with a sufficiently large active population, this usually works well, since relatively small numbers of troublemakers are screened out by the votes of the rest of the community. User moderation can also be characterized by reactive moderation. This type of moderation depends on users of a platform or site to report content that is inappropriate and breaches [[community standards]]. In this process, when users are faced with an image or video they deem unfit, they can click the report button. The complaint is filed and queued for moderators to look at.<ref>Grimes-Viort, Blaise (December 7, 2010). "6 types of content moderation you need to know about".
