Fixing The Broken Social Media Problem
The urge to fix social media has mulled governments and agencies to think along the lines of regulating these entities. As a response to it, to combat governmental regulation, social media platforms had spin-off self-regulation models. But over-reliance on the government (as in India and the UK) or firm (as in self-regulation or Facebook’s oversight board) for implementing consumer-centric governance is inadequate. So then, what could be the democratically legitimate global structure for social media governance? This episode will answer this question by discussing a federated model of governance called the Social Media Commission (SMC).
