Whistleblower calls for changes to Section 230

1 00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:06,010 >> What regulations or legal actions by Congress or by administrative action do 2 00:00:06,010 –> 00:00:11,700 you think would have the most consequence or would be feared most by Facebook Instagram or allied 3 00:00:11,700 –> 00:00:13,320 companies. 4 00:00:13,320 –> 00:00:19,260 >> I strongly encourage reforming Section 230 to exempt decisions 5 00:00:19,260 –> 00:00:24,630 about algorithms right so modified to 30 around content. I think as 6 00:00:24,630 –> 00:00:30,060 it’s it’s very complicated because user generated content is 7 00:00:30,060 –> 00:00:36,210 something that companies have less control over they have 100 percent control over their algorithms and 8 00:00:36,210 –> 00:00:41,580 Facebook should not get a free pass on choices it makes to prioritize growth and vitality and 9 00:00:41,580 –> 00:00:44,640 reactive ness over public safety. 10 00:00:44,730 –> 00:00:50,220 >> They shouldn’t get a free pass on that because they’re paying for their profits right now with our safety. So I strongly 11 00:00:50,220 –> 00:00:55,890 encourage reform of 230 in that way. I also believe there needs to be a dedicated oversight body because 12 00:00:55,890 –> 00:01:01,050 right now the only people in the world who are trained to analyze these experiments to understand what’s 13 00:01:01,050 –> 00:01:06,420 happening inside of Facebook are people who grew up inside of Facebook or Pinterest or 14 00:01:06,420 –> 00:01:11,640 another social media company and there needs to be a regulatory home or someone like me could do 15 00:01:11,640 –> 00:01:17,010 a tour of duty after working at a place like this and have a place to work on things like 16 00:01:17,010 –> 00:01:22,530 regulation to bring that information out to the oversight boards that have the right to do 17 00:01:22,530 –> 00:01:23,190 oversight. 18 00:01:23,280 –> 00:01:27,540 >> A regulatory agency within the federal government. Yes thank you very much. Thank you Chairman.
