Dorsey plans to discuss the “trust deficit” that impacts the entire “information ecosystem.”\nTestimony from the three CEOs has become a regular occurrence in Congress over the past year as the companies have been called on to defend their competitive practices and content moderation policies. Thursday’s hearing is Zuckerberg’s fourth testimony before Congress since July. It will be the third for Dorsey and Google’s Sundar Pichai over that same period.\nHere’s what they plan to say, according to their written remarks:\nFacebook\nZuckerberg plans to tell Congress that while Facebook reflects the deep divisions in the country, political and hateful content only makes up a small fraction of what its users see. Political posts only make up about 6% of what users in the U.S. see in their News Feeds, according to Zuckerberg, and the prevalence of hateful content users see is less than 0.08%.\nZuckerberg will outline the steps Facebook has taken to combat misinformation on the company’s platforms around both the election and Covid-19. Facebook uses fact-checkers to help debunk false information and seeks to crack down on pages spreading and monetizing false content. The company has invested in local news and promoted authoritative sources about the virus and vaccine to promote vetted information.\nHe also plans to discuss Facebook’s efforts to remove hateful content from its platforms, which have resulted in over 250 white supremacist groups and 890 militarized social movements being removed to date. Facebook has been enforcing rules to prevent QAnon and militia groups from organizing on its platform and continues to ban hate groups including the Proud Boys, Zuckerberg will say.\nFinally, Zuckerberg plans to advise lawmakers on how they should reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the law that protects platforms from becoming liable for their users’ posts. Zuckerberg will tell lawmakers they should focus on transparency and consider making the protection continent upon companies’ ability to meet best practices to prevent the spread of unlawful content.\nInstead of holding platforms responsible for individual pieces of content that fall through the cracks of its policies, they should be assessed based on the adequacy of their systems to address unlawful content, Zuckerberg will argue. What constitutes an adequate system should depend on the size of the platform and set by a third party that ensures the practices and fair and clear, according to Zuckerberg.\nTwitter\nDorsey’s testimony will focus on what he terms the “trust deficit” that exists today on tech platforms and beyond. In his written remarks, he detailed the ways Twitter plans to earn the trust of its users, mainly through promoting transparency, making its procedures fair and giving users control over their privacy settings and algorithms that influence what they see on the platform.\nTwitter is also experimenting with two new projects that it hopes will help it combat misinformation. The first is Birdwatch, a pilot program that lets Twitter users weigh on information they believe is false to add relevant context. The second is Bluesky, an independent team funded by Twitter working on creating open, decentralized standards for social media. Dorsey said this system should eventually help less-resourced start-ups tackle abuse and hate speech more easily.\nGoogle\nPichai will highlight Google’s work to surface authoritative sources and combat misinformation around the election and Covid-19 pandemic, according to his written testimony. In the remarks, he discusses Google’s investment in journalism training and resources, ad grants to government agencies and non-profits to run public service announcements about Covid-19 and additional safeguards put in place ahead of the 2020 election to verify advertisers.\nUnlike Zuckerberg’s, Pichai’s written testimony does not lay out a specific proposal for reforming Section 230. Instead, Pichai plans to tell lawmakers he is “concerned” that recent proposals to change or repeal the law would backfire on the stated goals of improving accountability of the platforms. Such proposals would hurt free expression and the ability of platforms to take action on harmful posts, Pichai wrote.\nHe instead provides suggestions for actions platforms can take to improve transparency and fairness around their policies and says Google is “committed not only to doing our part on our services, but also to improving transparency across our industry.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":351704045,"gmtCreate":1616631312587,"gmtModify":1704796609371,"author":{"id":"3567221235003553","authorId":"3567221235003553","name":"JFK","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a89af0535393568b5b43866c02b3230f","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3567221235003553","idStr":"3567221235003553"},"htmlText":"Ok.&nbsp;","listText":"Ok.&nbsp;","text":"Ok.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351704045","repostId":1148590696,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":351551592,"gmtCreate":1616606915516,"gmtModify":1704796425386,"author":{"id":"3564210269929975","authorId":"3564210269929975","name":"kk__soh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f54f0205e29fd09d7864877ae54901e3","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3564210269929975","idStr":"3564210269929975"},"htmlText":"They don't look like&nbsp;
