In January 2025, the TWON consortium developed a second TWON policy brief, on regulating online social networks! The briefing was developed in a comprehensive process with academic input, was then enriched with citizens’ perspectives from the DialoguePerspectives Citizen Lab in Fall 2024 and reviewed multiple times by academics in the consortium.
The briefing focuses on funding research and the development of public platforms, promoting content diversity through algorithmic design, platform regulation to strengthen interoperability and transparency of platforms, as well as the promotion of media literacy and support of independent journalism.
