Thank you. That's a great question. Even though I deal a lot with digital spaces, I have an opinion, which I'm happy to share.
There's a world of research out there about interventions that help the digital environment be, perhaps, healthier for us. I'm not sure about fact-checking. I think fact-checking has proven to be more problematic.
I'm not sure whether it was introduced here before, but another very successful example is the concept of friction, which is that, when you have someone about to press a button that says “share”, a simple line pops up that says, “Are you sure you want to share this?” Just introducing a friction moment has been proven to be effective in getting people to share less information that is problematic.
There's a world of recommendations from experts in this field—this is what they do—on how we can try to build better guardrails within our platforms. Separate from that, I definitely don't advocate for censorship online. I don't want to regulate speech as much as I want to regulate transparency.
I can speak for our organization. We used to do regular research through CrowdTangle, which was one of the mechanisms Facebook provided to civil society organizations to research their platform and the data. It was taken away. That's just one example.
There are many things we can do related to how these systems are designed, related to the transparency offered to researchers and civil society. There are also all kinds of things that we can do in the platforms that, I think, are not ones that we would debate and argue come at the expense of freedom of speech. Many things can be done that will have broad agreement.
Thank you.
