This morning the Senate Intelligence Committee will hear from @Jack and @SherylSandberg about their companies’ responses to foreign influence operations on social media platforms. Here’s what’s on my mind:
-
-
Isn’t there a public interest in ensuring more anonymized data is available to researchers and academics to help identify potential problems and misuse?

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 …

-
Ad fraud, securities fraud, and the possible basis of extortion, and the basis for any possible corporate interest in having foreign created bots, etc. It all comes back to the business model.
-
Exactly. Follow the money.
