As you can see, many antagonists against argued that social media like Facebook should extend their oversight obligations to police the contents seriously. What are your opinions? Please bring your thoughts and ideas into this Saturday's meeting!
The meeting has two sessions. The first session focuses on the understanding of background and issue. The second session would proceed to the debate of the responsibilities.
Section 1:
Q1: How do the social media make profits? Could you draw a picture how their business models work?
Q2: Based on your understanding of the business models of social media, do you think that the boycott would be a risk for Facebook? Why or why not?
Q3: If you were one of the directors in the Facebook's board, how would you suggest to other colleagues?
Section 2:
Q1: What are the responsibilities of the social media? Why do you think that those responsibilities should be imposed on them?
Q2: Imagine you were the legislator. Today, some lobbyists of the social media argue that they would not make any political contributions to you or to your parties since imposing those responsibilities on the platform would decrease their benefits of their shareholders. How would you respond to those lobbyists?
Q3: Finally, how would you reconcile the conflict between the "expansion of the responsibilities" and "corporate profitability"?
