    Regulating the Platforms

    This discussion was recorded at Machines+Media 2018. While discussion of potential new regulations for technology companies is somewhat muted in the United States, it is raging in the UK and Europe. While many observers agree more transparency and accountability for the platforms is desirable, new rules could have unintended consequences. What are the parameters for healthy regulation? Panelists included Paul Barrett, NYU Center for Business and Human Rights; Kevin Carty, Open Markets Institute; Nicholas Thompson, WIRED; and Claire Wardle, Shorenstein Center. Justin Hendrix, Executive Director of NYC Media Lab moderated the discussion.
