SOMETHING SOMETHING BLOCKCHAIN. |
THINK OF THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. |
THESE LAWS ARE OUTDATED, THE INTERNET WAS VERY DIFFERENT WHEN THEY WERE PASSED. |
AMENDING CDA 230 WILL BREAK THE INTERNET. |
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS CHINA, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. |
IF PLATFORMS WANT IMMUNITY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RETAIN USERS’ REAL NAMES SO THEY CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. |
NETZDG PUTS PLATFORMS IN THE ROLE OF COURTS, THAT’S A HUGE CHANGE! |
DEEPFAKES ARE NOT REALLY A NEW ISSUE. |
THE REAL ISSUE IS AMPLIFICATION AND ALGORITHMS |
THINK OF THE CHILDREN. |
WE SHOULD FOCUS ON FAIR REMOVALS PROCESS, PLATFORMS NEED TO PROVIDE CLEAR RULES, APPEALS, AND TRANSPARENCY. |
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PLATFORMS USE AI IS [SOMETHING THAT ISN’T AI AT ALL]. |
security problem excuse BINGO |
DON’T FORGET THAT PLENTY OF DISINFORMATION COMES FROM LEGACY MEDIA COMPANIES LIKE FOX. |
BIG PLATFORMS ARE SO POWERFUL, THEY ARE LIKE STATES, SO THEY SHOULD HAVE STATE-LIKE HUMAN RIGHTS OBLIGATIONS. |
BIG SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES ARE THE NEW PUBLIC SQUARE. |
WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT MODERATORS AS A WORKFORCE, AND PROTECT THEM. |
WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT FACEBOOK TAKING DOWN THE "TERROR OF WAR" VIETNAM PHOTO BECAUSE IT AFFECTED PEOPLE WITH THE POWER TO CALL ATTENTION TO IT. |
WE NEED WAY MORE DATA AND TRANSPARENCY FROM PLATFORMS. |
THINK ABOUT HOW THESE PLATFORM CONTENT REGULATION ISSUES PLAY OUT ON A SEMI-PRIVATE ENCRYPTED CHANNEL LIKE WHATSAPP. |
BIG PLATFORMS ARE SO POWERFUL, THEY ARE LIKE STATES, SO THEY NEED AMBASSADORS AND A FOREIGN POLICY. |
MOST INTERNET PLATFORMS/INTERMEDIARIES ARE NOTHING LIKE FACEBOOK OR YOUTUBE, AND CAN'T HIRE ARMIES OF MODERATORS OR BUILD FILTERS |
PLATFORMS ALREADY ENFORCE THE US DMCA GLOBALLY, SO AMERICANS SHOULDN’T COMPLAIN WHEN OTHER COUNTRIES WANT THEIR LAWS ENFORCED THAT WAY. |
THINK OF THE EFFECT ON STARTUPS. |
PLATFORMS MUST UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE RUGGIE PRINCIPLES/ HORIZONTAL EFFECT/STATES’ POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS. |
