    The course was quite informative. I came in with not much expectations in regards to how moderation was done by Meta and ended up learning a lot by the end of the video. It also intricately talks about the dilemma and bias that exists on social media when it comes to whether it should be taken down or not. Overall I would say the minutes invested into watching it weren't truly wasted. I would definitely recommend people to try it out.

    The course content was insightful and I got a lot of information about content moderation.
    It really was really helpful. The only disappointment was that I thought it would provide free certification as well.

    I believe that in the world of social media platforms with a rapidly spreading creation of content available, there is a grey area between what is acceptable and what is to be taken down for the safety and peace of the social media community . This lesson gave me an amount of realization and more learnings about critically reading and viewing content to assure that it is safe, and also if it does not goes against the guidelines given by the social media platforms, and also about analysing and deep diving into the intention the content creator wants to evoke into its viewers, or to the community in general.
