> The Guardian and La Vanguardia will stop sharing their content on X (formerly Twitter) due to the disinformation flooding the platform. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) argues that this is a glaring sign of the authorities’ failure to establish regulations that protect reliable sources of information on digital platforms.
So the solutions are:
Promote journalistic content in algorithms, or "enact the rules we want on all platforms, thereby creating a single production model"
Distinguish influencer accounts from journalist accounts, or "crowd out/create barriers to entry with credentialism"
Regularly evaluate social media’s impact on press freedom, or "penalties for those who don't toe the line"
Obligate social media platforms to remain neutral, aka "our definition of neutral, of course"
How is this different than any other regulatory capture?
