Algorithmic Accountability on Social Media Platforms: Digital Identity Portability and Self-Regulation

摘要

There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution to the problems that social media platforms bring. Nevertheless, algorithm-based systems' ubiquity has brought increasing attention to the lack of accountability and whether to regulate or not to regulate as those platforms allow greater levels of personalisation and precision by using the potential to synthesize large amounts of data. As a result, these great new powers might jeopardize stability and social justice.
