Platform Policy Bingo

61910

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	THESE LAWS ARE OUTDATED, THE INTERNET WAS VERY DIFFERENT WHEN THEY WERE PASSED.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/WILL NOT 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].	Platform Policy 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 [FAMOUS REMOVAL MISTAKE] 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 COMPANIES 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 UN GUIDING PRINCIPLES/ HORIZONTAL EFFECT/STATES’ POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS.

How to Play: Print a card or use one on your browser. If you don’t like the one you have, click “shuffle” for a new one. Go to a conference, tune into a podcast, or otherwise listen to people talking about Internet policy. When you hear someone say one of the things on your card, mark that square. (Clicking will mark squares in your browser.) If you say it yourself, that doesn’t count. When you get a full row, column or corner-to-corner diagonal, YOU WIN!!

The point here is not to make fun of people for saying (most of) these things. It’s not that kind of conference bingo. A few of these are silly, but many of them are good points and bear repeating.

Credits: This awesome bingo card design came from Security Excuses Bingo. Matt Blaze and Jutta Degener generously let us borrow their code and build on their work. (If you like that one, also check out the Digital Security Bingo that Juliana Castro made for Access Now.) Some of the text was crowdsourced over the course of an epic Twitter thread. Many thanks to those who contributed!
