Scientific American reports that Nancy Costello, a law professor at MSU, helped develop model legislation that would require third-party audits of social media algorithms to identify harmful patterns, such as serving eating-disorder content to young girls. “They shouldn’t have that bad content pushed at them when they’ve never asked for it,” Costello said. The proposed laws focus on how companies deliver content rather than the content itself, potentially avoiding First Amendment and Section 230 challenges that have stymied previous accountability efforts.
