The path forward is clear: designing algorithms to promote long-term user value instead of short-term engagement. Platforms and policymakers can make this happen through: 1️⃣ detailed transparency 2️⃣ better user choices and defaults and 3️⃣ assessing the long-term impacts of design changes.

Meta’s recent announcements include two changes in its moderation efforts and one change to its algorithm design. The algorithm design changes are the least clear and likely the most impactful, writes Ravi Iyer.
