Content moderation offers key benefits by reducing hate speech and harassment, thereby creating safer, more inclusive online spaces that build community trust. However, it also poses drawbacks, such as restricting free expression through censorship of dissenting opinions and introducing biases that unevenly suppress marginalized voices.
