Big internet platforms have been abused to subvert elections, bully dissidents, and carry out ethnic cleansing. What can we do to mitigate these harms in the next five years? Paul Gowder is a law professor and political scientist who served as the in-house democratic theorist on Facebook's Civic Integrity team.
