Report Finds Big Tech Transparency Reports Fall Short
Report Finds Big Tech, Transparency Reports , Fall Short.
'Fast Company' reports that Big Tech regularly
releases data meant to offer transparency into
how the world's largest platforms are being run.
This data often shares actions companies take
against inappropriate content and when they help
law enforcement at the request of governments.
.
A new analysis by academics at the University of Zurich
and the University of Bern found that few tech companies
follow principles they have previously espoused.
It’s good to be well-informed about
what is happening.
And right now,
it’s impossible in many aspects,
which I guess might lead to over-
and under-regulation of the platforms, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
I think it’s not entirely obvious
what Apple would be taking down.
But actually, Apple does moderate
its App Store, for example.
We just don’t know how, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
Similarly, the report found that Amazon moderates
what books are sold on its site, however the process
of deeming books inappropriate remains unknown.
The report also found that companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn and Twitch adhered to some of
the transparency guidelines but not all.

Liam McLoughlin at the University of Liverpool suggests
that the findings of the report reinforces the idea that
transparency reports are closely related to public relations.

Some might call me cynical
on this,but when we think of
transparency reports as primarily
a public relations mechanism,
it all makes sense, Liam McLoughlin, at the University of Liverpool, via 'Fast Company'
