What is it about computational communication science?

How to fix platforms?


Listen Later

Ethan Zuckerman, Associate Professor of Public Policy, Communication and Information at the U of Massachusetts Amherst, is our guest, and he is on a mission to fix platforms. Not because he thinks they are inherently bad, but because there are several things about platforms that research (not least CCS) tells us are flawed. Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk with Ethan about why social media seems to be broken, what possible ways to fix it might be, how different regions of the world are approaching this challenge, and whether suing Facebook might make a difference.

P.S.: We now also have a website for our podcast --> https://aboutccs.net/
