@MarietjeSchaake posits that the big tech companies only move to reform when their reputation is at stake. There is more possible than has been done before.
The fact is there is no oversight based on human beings on the basis of law or computers on the base of algorithms. We should base the selection of content to be taken down on rigorous criteria.
