Instead of prioritizing polarized opinions, only the ideas that resonated sufficiently with the group could pollinate outside that room. For example, one room suggested labeling all social media advertisements as “probably scam” until someone provides a digital signature—a “know your customer” (KYC) verification. Another room proposed that if someone lost $7,000,000 to an investment scheme advertised on Facebook via an unsigned post, Facebook should be liable for the $7,000,000, not just fined. Another room suggested that if a company like TikTok (ByteDance), which at the time did not have an office in Taiwan, ignored our liability rules, we should not censor their content, but rather throttle connections to their video servers. This way, TikTok’s competition would gain their advertising business.
