摘要

我曾在其他地方论述过,在过去的历史中,言论自由,无论是授予少数人还是授予多数人,都被授予一些重要的利益。例如,约翰·斯图亚特·密尔在《论自由》中认为,自由使我们能够通过讨论相互学习。通过利益测试,我在这里认为,通过与广告商(包括宣传人员)交换我们的个人数据来获得资金的社交媒体,不能声称支持言论自由。如果我们委托给在线社交媒体的个人数据被用来向我们提供针对不同个性的信息或虚假信息,以最大限度地提高广告商或宣传机构的收入,我们就失去了自由。在所描述的严重后果中,利用这种有针对性的广告来影响投票活动是特别危险的,因为它对民主产生了影响。社交媒体和任何政党都需要控制,这些政党付钱给社交媒体,根据个性对选民进行差异化定位。根据英国政府文件,我建议通过立法进行改革和执法。

FREE SPEECH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: HOW TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA THAT ARE FUNDED BY TRADE IN OUR PERSONAL DATA
Abstract I have argued elsewhere that in past history, freedom of speech, whether granted to few or many, was granted as bestowing some important benefit. John Stuart Mill, for example, in On Liberty, saw it as enabling us to learn from each other through discussion. By the test of benefit, I here argue that social media that are funded through trade in our personal data with advertisers, including propagandists, cannot claim to be supporting free speech. We lose our freedoms, if the personal data we entrust to online social media are used to target us with information, or disinformation, tailored as persuasive to different personalities, in order to maximize revenue from advertisers or propagandists. Among the serious consequences described, particularly dangerous because of its effect on democracy, is the use of such targeted advertisements to swing voting campaigns. Control is needed both of the social media and of any political parties that pay social media for differential targeting of voters based on personality. Using UK government documents, I recommend legislation for reform and enforcement.

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
