Safety

Our Solutions

Digital platforms should both protect freedom of speech and preserve a safe and civil environment for political discourse in a way that encourages political engagement and the participation of marginalized communities. We support a targeted approach that clamps down on extremism without hampering civic groups and grassroots movements. Companies should also conduct risk assessments to learn how their rules and algorithms contribute to radicalization, and cooperate with government agencies, experts, consumer associations, and civil society groups to design appropriate solutions. Social media companies should also be required to contain the spread of harmful activities that pose an imminent threat to public security or public health, including disinformation, hate speech, fake accounts, harassment, and messages aimed at inciting violence or voter suppression.
