Let Juries Review Facebook Ads
untitled 2019-11-14
Summary:
Social-media giants can’t decide how far is too far, but a panel of regular people can, argues Jonathan Zittrain in an op-ed for The Atlantic.
“But far more than its own version of the Supreme Court, Facebook needs a way to tap into the everyday common sense of regular people. Even Facebook does not trust Facebook to decide unilaterally which ads are false and misleading. So if the ads are to be weighed at all, someone else has to render judgment.”
