ADVICE

Regulate Algorithms, Not Ordinary Speech

  • Hold platforms to the same standards as traditional media if they algorithmically elevate falsehoods.
  • Remove profit incentives for amplifying demonstrably false or harmful content rather than criminalizing offensive speech.
INSIGHT

Freedom With Limits And Platform Accountability

  • Scott argues democracy should allow almost anyone to say almost anything, barring defamation or incitement to violence.
  • He believes platforms should lose Section 230 protections when algorithmically elevating false or harmful content.
ADVICE

Use Honest Escalation And Market Leverage

  • Before going to someone senior, try an honest conversation with your manager to avoid appearing to tattle.
