In a case that has never before been heard, she challenges the platform's use of forced arbitration, its failure to prevent algorithmic harm, and the legal architecture that keeps queer and trans survivors locked out of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat begins as a motion to be heard becomes something greater: a motion to be remembered, to be protected, to be human in a system that was never built for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book is Davis's groundbreaking \u003cb\u003eAlgorithmic Proximate Harm Detection (APHD)\u003c\/b\u003e framework-an original forensic model for identifying and proving algorithmic harm in court. Drawing from cybersecurity, data science, and tort law, APHD brings measurable structure to what platforms often dismiss as \"anecdotal\" harm. Through nine rigorously defined variables, including centrality, escalation velocity, inaction decay, and platform negligence, Davis reframes user harm as \u003cb\u003eforensically traceable and legally actionable\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eMotion to Be Seen\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a technical document. It's a record of those we've lost: Black trans women whose names were misgendered, whose deaths were uncounted, and whose lives were never safe online. It's about systems that claim neutrality while engineering exposure to violence. And it's about a woman who refused to stay silent-because silence was never an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"I didn't have a law degree or a publishing deal.
