My takeaways:

  • currently, editorial policies are being set and changed on-the-fly by technology platforms such as Facebook. Governments should have more of a role in this.
  • the volume of content posted will require algorithms to either censor/curate content.
  • government legislation and regulation cadence are currently not matching the pace of technological change.
