Don’t your users have a right to know when they are interacting with bots on your platform?
Show this thread -
Isn’t there a public interest in ensuring more anonymized data is available to researchers and academics to help identify potential problems and misuse?
Show this thread -
Why are your terms of service so difficult to find and nearly impossible to read, much less understand?
Show this thread -
Why shouldn’t we adopt ideas like data portability, data minimization, or first party consent?
Show this thread -
After witnessing numerous episodes of misuse, what further accountability should there be with respect to the flawed advertising model that you utilize?

I’ve put these and other ideas into a white paper that I’ve circulated to get this discussion going. You can read the whole thing here:https://www.axios.com/mark-warner-google-facebook-regulation-policy-paper-023d4a52-2b25-4e44-a87c-945e73c637fa.html …
