Should the government mandate that large tech companies share their algorithms with regulators?

All tech companies? Seriously? So, treat IBM or Nvidia the same as Facebook? Pretty sure you mean social media companies, not ALL tech companies.

If the technology will be for commericial use; I believe that a diagnostics and algorithms with regulators would be vile for the safety of the users. If only for personal limited use as there own private .

I don't like the idea of the government getting more and more power. I think the government itself needs to be more closely monitored to ensure they are using social media and tech companies to have an advantage over their opponent; I draw your attention to what the Democrats did to control what was posted on Facebook and Twitter durring the 2020 election.

If a private tech company creates an algorithm, they should have the right to decide if they want to share it or not.

I think the government needs to regulate algorithms online, but I think that rules must be put in place so they can’t use the internet to falsely influence the masses to a certain political stance, so no one person has control over the internet.

If the algorithms being used can lead to a violation of the privacy rights of its users, it should be made known.

i think they should share some things and can hide the other. every company should say what they do with all the information given.

Yes, but only when there is evidence that such algorithms are being used to violate individual freedoms and rights.

Yes, there needs to be some oversight to moderate consumer abuse, but it should not inhibit a company's ability to remain competitive or reveal trade secrets

Businesses should have the right to attempt to safeguard trade secrets, but everyone should have the right to attempt to reverse engineer their way to discovery of secret methodologies.

Not all tech large tech companies, however, there should be at least one public platform free from censorship.

No, but more control should be allowed on the user's side to prevent certain content from reaching us. (Parental controls, etc)

Transparency could massively benefit people as a whole for the sake of mental health and fact based research while still protections being in place to safe gaurd the businesses confidentiality

Since the current government can't be trusted, allow an independent agency to view and Verify safety.

No, but the government should end all subsidies to big tech and stop using them as political tools to steal elections and advance authoritarian agendas.

Once again we are intelligent, and we should be able to assess if these are threats to our society than to act accordingly. Smoking.

It show be unconstitutional for the government to mandate that large companies share their algorithms with regulators.

Only under specific, court ordered instances such as in order to apprehend those suspected of having committed a violent crime.

No, only in cases where there is evidence that the algorithms are violating constitutional rights such as suppressing free speech. Protect whistleblowers.

Only when the tech company is being investigated, they should be able to be searched, but not mandated by the government to protect the 4th Amendment.

Anything the government gets involved with is never good. I like the idea of non-government professionals ensuring that algorithms are unbiased politically. Maybe a law where the company has to have transparency with a third-party non-biased company but then we would have to ensure someone that the platforms aren’t just paying the regulators off somehow

The government is not equiped or up to date enough to handle the I.formation and would not be trustworthy with it. Data protections like tge EU has need to created and enforced

Only if the the tech company is involved in weapons, artificial inteligence or security. In medical research, economic and social networks no.

Yes, but only for large tech companies that act as platforms in the "public square" of the internet, as they play a strong role in free speech on the web.

the government should make sure to receive government funding or be a site that is used by government or state official accounts this data has to be public.

This is a very bad idea as the government had no proper policies in order to regulate or hand the misuse of

Yes there isn't much competition anymore on entertainment algorithms as AI is becoming the backbone but privacy of users is more important than the "competitive advantage"

No, but they should be able to obtain a court order for them if there is probable cause to suspect foul play.

Yes, If there is sufficient evidence their service or products are negatively affecting society, they are putting advertising that is blatantly pushing harmful products, ideas, or news onto people.

Yes and no. The government should have no control over what is shared and not shared on social media. But there should be regulations on the personal information the companies have access to.

No, and the government should not be able to to coerce tech companies to take part in censorship or other bipartisan or malicious activity.

To the degree that govenment provides transportation services to the public - which would better be served by the private market - this publicly funded service must be accessible to all.

though it would be great if all of them were 100% FOSS we should write better software that's FOSS to compete with them

Any company that is above a certain size of income should be required to abide by the constitution so their algorithms should be public domain

No, unless it is deemed malicious and self serving for profit driven margins the expense of the common person or environment.

Yes, but also make sure those regulators are people to be trusted as well as people who know what they're doing.

No, but there should be at least some type of change in transparency especially with TOS in most cases like this b/c they tend to make their TOS super long purposefully so you don't read it. It should be required to be simplified to 1 page so that everyone who buys their product understand their rights throughly.

Big tech should not be allowed to manipulate the public, or hinder the rights to free speech based on their corporate leaders own beliefs.

There needs to be a system of checks and balances to ensure the 1st amendment is protected and that big tech is not using their power to sensor people they disagree with.

Companies should disclose the intentions of their algorithms without giving away technical information.

Yes and no. To a degree yes they need to inform their regulators about what happens behind the scenes. But keep some things secret otherwise other people will use their algorithms.

It is a companies own right to keep its trade secrets to itself but we need to keep the general populous and especially our children safe and secure happy and protected and prosperous; And also I wouldn't trust the government with those algorithms what do you think they will do with it? Nothing good. Companies have their right to privacy too; Anyway it has a lot goods and bads pros and cons.

It should be told what th3y are doing but I don't belive that they would truly understand the algorithm

Yes, but regulators have to sign contracts relevant to the topic at hand, for instance, they won't be able to manipulate algorithms into their own works.

If that what that tech company wants to do then they should be if the tech company does not then they shouldn't.

they should make sure its not fake news, but really don't stop anything that is telling the truth even if it does mean America is in the wrong.

Large Tech companies should be required to give up algorithms to regulators only if there is proof of suspicious acts where the tech company has committed fraud, scams, or other criminal acts to the detriment of the consumer.

No, only if said algorithms violate user privacy or have a noticeable negative impact on user behavior

No, but if it's a threat to the common safety or the nation, then allow it.
