Regulate how exactly? While better than the indistinguishable from bots "destroy/break up Facebook" ad nausuem repetition I have seen plenty of calls for regulation with zero thought as to what regulations they would add. The few examples I have seen proposed are either blatantly unconstitutional, ineffectual, and/or obviously doomed to backfire. Politician's syllogism (we need to do something and this is something) gets us nowhere.
- dublinben 7y agoOne possible regulation that should resonate with the HN crowd would be a real form of due process or arbitration for users who have been censored. If platforms like Facebook are going to be the universal arbiters of acceptable public speech, then we ought to have formal recourse when they silence us. As it stands, we are completely at the mercy of the algorithm or outsourced contractors.
