Of all the examples to release! I think they need an internal algorithm forensics group & an external algorithm ethics board.
or they could just open up API + research options....but the ethical board - completely
you see ...it's really v straightforward. Like Greece they should just put academics in charge ....oh wait
Only solution is real competition, so power isn't so concentrated. Which means antitrust.
but here's the rub - network externalities apply here, in some ways it might be a quasi natural monopoly
But...utilities are vital to functioning of society and economy. World would communicate fine without FB.
Alas. There are huge chunks of the world where Facebook is the public sphere and it's "the internet."
If it did not have such quasi-monopoly power due to network effects, I'd be a lot less interested.
I can never get any friend to switch messaging apps, for example. I'm stuck on what the world uses.
Antitrust creates space for competitors to emerge.
