Abstract

Social media platforms have been accused of causing a range of harms, resulting in dozens of lawsuits across jurisdictions. These lawsuits are situated within the context of a long history of American product safety litigation, suggesting opportunities for remediation outside of financial compensation. Anticipating that at least some of these cases may be successful and/or lead to settlements, this article outlines an implementable mechanism for an abatement and/or settlement plan capable of mitigating abuse. The paper describes the requirements of such a mechanism, implications for privacy and oversight, and tradeoffs that such a procedure would entail. The mechanism is framed to operate at the intersection of legal procedure, standards for transparent public health assessment, and the practical requirements of modern technology products.
减少社交媒体危害:透明的公共卫生评估机制
社交媒体平台被指控造成了一系列伤害,在各个司法管辖区引发了数十起诉讼。这些诉讼是在美国产品安全诉讼历史悠久的背景下进行的,这表明了经济赔偿之外的补救机会。预计这些案例中至少有一些可能会成功和/或导致和解,本文概述了一种可实施的机制,用于减少滥用和/或和解计划。本文描述了这种机制的要求,对隐私和监督的影响,以及这种程序可能带来的权衡。该机制是在法律程序、透明的公共卫生评估标准和现代技术产品的实际要求的交叉点上运作的。
