📣NEW: "Bringing Better Feeds to Life"

Engagement-maximizing algorithms shape our online experiences & are often linked to an array of harms and negative impacts on user wellbeing. But some platform designers are charting a different course... 🧵

[Knight-Georgetown Institute (KGI) @knightgtown]

🧵Our new model bill for US lawmakers showing how online platforms can be tasked with creating better algorithmic feeds was featured in @PluribusNews. Read more from @AustinJ_Reports here: https://t.co/IXvEghLpix /1

[Knight-Georgetown Institute (KGI) @knightgtown]

Every day, algorithms shape what we see, read and watch. Our new explainer with KGI’s @alissacooper shows how feeds work and how platforms + policymakers can design better feeds that are optimized for long-term user value instead of short term engagement.

📣Announcing our new series with @techpolicypress "Seeing the Digital Sphere: The Case for Public Platform Data"

Should we be able to understand the risks kids face online? How businesses target consumers? How politicians communicate? 👇 [thread]

[Alissa Cooper @alissacooper]

Despite the importance of data about what happens in public on online platforms, there is no shared framework for how research, journalism, and independent investigations should be conducted with public platform data. The Better Access framework we released today provides that.

[Knight-Georgetown Institute (KGI) @knightgtown]

📢Online platforms shape what we know, how we connect, and who gets heard, yet researcher access to public platform data is shrinking, while platforms monetize this data. Our new report "Better Access" offers a framework for accessing this critical data: https://t.co/JKEDKmfu83

New in @nytimes: @JuliaAngwin breaks down how the US v. Google remedies ruling could further entrench Google’s dominance in search.

KGI’s @alissacooper notes “[t]he remedies here are unlikely to create the circumstances for competitive entry in search.”

Are Judge Mehta's minor remedies "useless" even on their own narrow terms?

Haven't read enough about the Google search antitrust remedies? We have more for you ...

📢New on @techpolicypress: Our analysis of US v. Google digs deep into Judge Mehta’s remedies ruling, exploring what we can expect from the data sharing remedies in the absence of a ban on default payments.

... so they can be factored into the opinion that comes out. Would an August analysis from @sparktoro tell a different story from witnesses who were on the stand in April and May, for example? We'll never know 😔 ...

[Alissa Cooper @alissacooper]

I feel like we could use RAG for the courts. Like, at the time of writing an opinion (say, a remedy order in an antitrust case), obtain a corpus of fresh data and documents that are relevant to the questions being decided and add those docs to the context window ...

[Knight-Georgetown Institute (KGI) @knightgtown]

This week, KGI’s @alissacooper is featured in an @NPR article about what the Google Search antitrust ruling means for the future of AI and why the remedies may be too limited to pave the way for more search competition

🚨Antitrust & digital competition are in the news almost daily – from decisions issued in cases against Google search and ad tech to DMA enforcement actions involving Apple and Meta and new private litigation in multiple jurisdictions. 👇

[Alissa Cooper @alissacooper]

Thanks to @SumitEcon for reminding us that the CMA has done the world a public service in its thorough investigation of the search market. Too bad the US court didn't consider the CMA's findings about limited search syndication serving as a barrier, not a boost, to competition.

[Sumit Sharma @SumitEcon]

My take on the Google search remedies decision in @techpolicypress
➡️Remedies Not Enough as Google will still be default ➡️None of the other remedies compensate for this
➡️ Just relying on AI is bananas
