Most large algorithms are impossible to understand as a person, input and output data should be available to see however

 @9YLLZZKanswered…5mos5MO

It depends. Which algorithms, and for what do the regulators need access to them for?

 @9YJZG96from Illinois  answered…5mos5MO

No as they are a business. But they should be completely transparent in what data their company collects, how it is collected and how it is used.

Yes, particularly if they are owned/administrated by United States individuals with connections to Israel, or with significant Israeli investment or ownership or involvement

 @9MQSRDM answered…11mos11MO

this is a very generic question, which algorithms, they likely have hundreds or thousands. Can regulators really oversee these ?

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2 days2D

No, only if there are serious allegations of harm or misconduct

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2 days2D

Yes, and all software and algorithms should be open source

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...6 days6D

No, and the government has no right to interfere with private intellectual property

Imagine a world where every piece of content recommended to you online comes with a 'why this is shown' explanation. Would this make your online experience more trustworthy or just more cluttered?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would you feel if every piece of content you see was decided by a hidden computer recipe, influencing what you see and think every day?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Imagine if your favorite online platform suddenly had to share exactly how they decide what shows up on your feed - would that make you trust them more or less, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What happens when the digital spaces we visit daily know more about our preferences than our closest friends do?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If you had the power to change how online platforms decide what news or content to show you, what would you change, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Think of a time when you found yourself going down a rabbit hole of videos or articles online; do you believe there should be regulations to prevent this, or is it a matter of personal responsibility?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would your online behavior change if you knew exactly how and why certain posts were being recommended to you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Consider the balance between a company's right to keep their algorithms secret and the public's right to know how their data is being used; where do you stand, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Should there be a universal standard for how social media platforms use algorithms to ensure they're not manipulating emotions or spreading misinformation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Have you ever felt misled or unfairly influenced by content recommended to you online; how would knowing the behind-the-scenes of these recommendations change that?

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...6 days6D

Yes, and all software and algorithms should be open source

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...6 days6D

Yes, and should also share their algorithms with their customers

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2 days2D
