This is the opposite what US gov is calling for - to provide more transparency in the existing takedown practices.
It seems that content platforms are cought between a rock and hard place here. And the innovation needed is not a technical one - we have implemented the current laws to their full extent and they don't seem to fix the problem. We need to move the law forward now.
- chongli 5y agoIt seems that content platforms are cought between a rock and hard place here That’s because they chose to use technology to push growth above all other concerns. They’ve reached such a scale that it’s not feasible for humans to moderate the content users are posting. This is a problem of each platform’s own making. We need to move the law forward now. That’s one position. Another one is to argue that not every business model has a right to exist. These days I tend to find myself leaning towards the latter. I think we walk a dangerous road when we give too much power (and too little responsibility) to big tech companies like Google.
