Can you elaborate on what legislation and regulation would yield positive effects with no negative externalities/regulatory capture that prevents any new companies from competing with Facebook?
- barbazoo 5y agoI'm obviously not an expert but what I can imagine is - requirement of social media companies to correct the record and show people where they were the target of misinformation - childhood development informed minimum age requirement for social media use - banning of ultra-specific targeting the way it is done right now - banning of political advertising The list goes on and, again, obviously I'm not an expert in all the externalities, I just see a problem and would like to see it addressed. I have suggestions but am open to other suggestions. Anything that's not "the market will fix it".
- andreilys 5y agoshow people where they were the target of misinformation Ah perfect, let Dorsey and Zuck be the arbiters of truth. That definitely has not backfired during covid right? As I recall both platforms suppressed any mention of a lab leak theory as “conspiracy”.
- barbazoo 5y ago> Ah perfect, let Dorsey and Zuck be the arbiters of truth. That's not what I said. It could very well come from an independent organization. Fb and others would just be responsible for putting it in front of the people's eyes that they have shown disinformation to. Is that a perfect solution? Probably not but what the hell else are we gonna do? What do you suggest we do instead?
