From the website:
"This report recommends (on page 50) that governments implement transparent user data privacy and user data protection frameworks that apply to all social media networks. If companies refuse to comply with such frameworks, they shouldn’t be allowed to operate. Independent audits of social media algorithms should be conducted. Social media companies should be transparent about the guidelines that human moderators use and what impact their decisions have on their algorithms. Governments should require that all social media platforms investigate and disclose information operations being conducted on their platforms by state and non-state actors. Disclosures should include publicly releasing datasets linked to those information campaigns."
Yes. If we could get Google, Facebook etc. to do this. That would be great. Thanks, signed someone in Europe.
- LudwigNagasena 6y agoSounds nice, unfortunately “independent audits” will be done by 2-3 companies closely tied to the establishment (just like how strategy consulting is done by 3 companies and finance audit is done by 4 companies).

- 49531 6y agoYea I really don't know how people can take this information seriously; it is just so on-the-nose.
- hank_z 6y agoI actually thought about something like this and came up with a solution. Please excuse me for being naive. It's blockchain technology. We can build a social media based on blockchain technology, makes the history of content in social media unalterable and transparent. Users are not allowed update contents they have posted but the authorities. Any content removal request from the authorities will be carried out automatically but broadcasted to all users. Hence the authority can have full control of the social media and have transparency implemented.
