Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:
Okay, cool. What?
Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.
Political advertising? Sure. Make sure you do both sides.
Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.
Or people could just ditch social media, it provides no value to your life. Algorthims are designed specifically to engage you, to show you content that keeps you on the site. This allows better collection of data about you, and ensures you see the most relevant advertising. We already know 'how they work' and the associated 'impact'. big tech isn't your friend. It's not you're nanny. You're the product.
Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
Gonna be a big NO from me. We've seen time and time again that big tech can not be trusted to provide 'additional context' and 'factual information' when they do it with a heavy handed bias and increased selectivity. Fuck Firefox for even suggesting that.
Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.
Just stick to making Firefox not suck. Stay out of politics. For fucks sake.
The answer is not to do away with the internet, but to build a better one that can withstand and gird against these types of challenges. This is how we can begin to do that.
There they are again with the, "build a better internet" lingo. How about: No. Maybe I'm all alone in feeling this and people here will support a more restrictive clearnet. But I'm very much against it.
