Ah, algorithmic transparency, what I told the European Parliament was the next step they should take after GDPR. Better six years late than never. Hey, maybe in another decade they’ll even consider implementing a General Data Minimisation Regulation (GDMR).

@aral I’d be interested to learn more about the steps the EU is taking to promote algorithmic transparency for social media platforms (ie helping citizens understand and demystify the algorithms behind how these platforms promote and recommend content/posts). I’m struggling to find much on the specifics. Can you help point me in the right direction here? Thanks!

Important data handling concepts that have struggled (it seems) to establish a foothold in EU legislation… with partial implementation finally being realised.

Worthy of commentary in broader community fervour, and not limited to tech discourse…

Adore the 2019 Nov blog article by @aral that includes a footnote reference to panel session remark (by “lobbyist participant”) about inappropriate use “inside voice” vs “outside voice”.
