But of course, you would ask, why don’t the social media companies work on civic integrity and counter-polarization and so on? Well, I think that partly is because such harms are not easily observable when it’s just a few university alum networks connecting to each other. Some of the harms only start to appear when there’s a large-scale deployment, and at that time, there’s no systemic way for those harms to be pointed out and redressed.
