CEP Senior Advisory Dr. Hany Farid writes: "From child sexual exploitation to the sale of illegal drugs, extremism, and mis-information, the titans of technology have failed us. Given the pattern of behavior that we have seen over the past nearly two decades, the time of trusting the technology industry to self-regulate is long over. Instead, we must continue to pass legislation that thoughtfully contends with the issues at hand while making sure that any legislation does not cripple small startups thus leading to a further enshrinement of the monopoly that is Google, Facebook, and Twitter. We must also pressure advertisers that fuel the industry to be more socially conscious and to wield their enormous power more responsibly, and we as a public and the media need to continue to pressure the Titans of Tech to do better to rein in the abuses on their platforms. Collectively it is our responsibility to help the technology sector find their moral compass that has been all too broken for the past two decades."
