Ms Frances Haugen:

If we were to hold a conference for a week, we could write a White Paper that fully outlines the minimum amount of information that needs to be disclosed in order to allow public transparency into these systems. One of my goals for the next 12 months is to have a specification of the minimum set of information that would allow supervision of the systems. The most important thing for Ireland to do is to pass an online safety Bill that is aligned with the Digital Services Act across the European Union, which is currently focusing on how to have an ongoing process of accountability. Having a taxonomy of the harm caused by content will not work because focusing on content is a downstream solution. We need to go to the source of the problem, which is around the algorithms and making sure Facebook must report ongoing metrics about the performance of those systems is how we will be able to answer those downstream harms caused by harmful content.
