Title
Democratizing Platforms for Social Coordination
Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) enabled social media platforms facilitate, at one level, social interaction, management of social contacts, and the promotion of self-exposure. On another level, they arguably meet a profound social need for opportunities to pursue sociallyvaluable projects, and for the free exercise of constitutive human capacities, on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Alongside these significant benefits, there are also some downsides, for example in the potential violation of privacy and breach of data regulations [1], monopolization, manipulation, and misrepresentation of information [2], and "market" domination by a few major actors [3]. These downsides have generated significant criticism of social media platforms, but our aim with this article is to be more constructive.
