Episode Topic:  What Can Smaller Platforms Learn from Ethical Challenges at Scale?

The session "Learning from Our Mistakes: What can smaller platforms learn from ethical challenges at scale?" features Julie Owono, founder of Internet Sans Frontières and a member of the Facebook Oversight Board, and Clint Smith, Chief Legal Officer at Discord. As debates around the responsibilities — and failings — of large social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter play out on a global scale, smaller platforms have an opportunity to learn from their pitfalls. Join us as our guests discuss the ethical challenges of scaling, lessons learned from the big platforms, and potential solutions as we look to the future. Listen to the discussion recorded on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, with Elizabeth M. Renieris, and special guests Julie Owono and Clint Smith.
