520 8 _aAs custodians of global public discourse today, transnational tech platforms govern who may speak, to whom, and how. While they have helped document and revitalize minoritized languages and connect diasporic communities, they also make language-related decisions that can disproportionately disadvantage speakers of those languages. On platforms like Facebook, non-English users navigate a linguistic environment where content moderation is often severely under-resourced compared to that available to English speakers. They may not receive warnings about disinformation or disturbing content, may not be told about what rules apply, and may have their content wrongly removed because neither human moderators nor automated systems can understand their language. This book examines forms of global linguistic justice that platforms create and reproduce, highlighting a critical dimension of structural inequality in contemporary platform governance.
