Social Media and Big Tech, Part Three. @elonmusk There is the additional issue of how these Tech companies should identify and handle content on their sites that is not legal, such as child porn, human trafficking, terroristic threats, etc. Using AI, companies can more easily identify content that may be illegal. Once discovered, this content should be temporarily blocked. I suggest that the government, not the social media company, should have the final say as to whether the content discovered by the tech companies is illegal and should be removed permanently. Here is my opinion as to how all this might happen: First, the Supreme Court should make a decision as to the hybrid nature of Big Tech and the compromise that the first amendment rights of these companies can be regulated. Second, this would leave an open door for Congress to pass legislation, or perhaps for the FCC to develop appropriate regulations assuming their scope was extended to Social Media companies. Let’s all stay tuned to how the Supreme Court rules on this issue. It will have a far ranging impact on our society. I haven’t posted for over a month. Perhaps this is because I have too many ideas and not enough focus. I promise to put out in cyberspace some more interesting posts. Of course “interesting” is in the eye of the beholder. Until then let’s enjoy whatever thoughts pop up in our interesting minds, and not forget to pay attention to the little things now and then.
