Technology debates

Technology debates need a specific decision

Technology is too broad to be good or bad. Ask whether a platform should change a rule, whether a product should be regulated, or whether a design choice does more harm than good. Privacy, security and automation all get clearer when the room names who acts and what they decide.

• Should companies tell you when a bot handles your support chat?
• Should cities ban facial recognition in public?
• Is social media worse for young people than for adults?
• Should end-to-end encryption have exceptions for police?
• Should kids under 16 be kept off social platforms?
