Beeindruckend geschrieben, fundiert recherchiert und durchdacht.Die Zeichnung aus Meyers Konversationslexikon erinnert mich an mein Lieblingswerk von Henri Rousseau (Tiger in a Storm). Wahrscheinlich aus der gleichen Zeit. Danke für die tolle Lektüre und die Einführung in die Arbeit von Prof. Mazzucato
Correction to footnote 11: even though, to my knowledge at least, no legislative attempts to apply a fairness doctrine to social media have been made, Victor Pickard, professor at the University of Pennsylvania discussed such a measure back in February as well:
I like the idea of forcing platforms to take over the responsibility of publishers. Yet, I don’t think that this is the main focus on what social media companies should become. Why? Because my primary source of concern is their monopolistic outreach. No publisher in the world should be given that amount of power. My ideal formula for social media companies: broken up into smaller entities that allow competitors to rise. Because diversity of opinion and content comes with a diversity of players.
