Another exhausting day in the lab… conducting very rigorous panettone analysis. Pandoro was evaluated too, because we believe in fair experimental design.

🚨 New main paper out at #EMNLP2025! 🚨
⚡ We show that personalization of content moderation models can be harmful and perpetuate hate speech, defeating the purpose of the system and hurting the community.
We argue that personalized moderation needs boundaries, and we show how to build them.
