Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · Sep 6

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Fuck yeah

It’s a basic idea, and one I don’t have to explain in depth: Any social media platform that uses algorithmic recommendations in newsfeeds and timelines must ensure that a certain percentage of the posts displayed are from accounts or profiles that the user follows.

What’s the ideal percentage? I’d set it high. Around 90%. And I’d also require that social media companies provide, by default, a newsfeed that exclusively shows posts from the user’s network. In short, I’d make the algorithmic timeline something that you have to actively opt into.

I’d even go further and demand a level of oversight. After Microsoft’s anti-trust losses in the 90s and the early 2000s, Redmond was forced to allow the Department of Justice to audit its code to ensure it complied with their settlement.

I see no reason why social platforms shouldn’t similarly be forced to allow regulators to audit their timeline algorithms to ensure they’re behaving fairly
