A group of specialists in Israel will explore solutions to limit the negative impact of social media platforms, according to Channel 12.
The experts will be selected by Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel, and will look at potential options to stem the influence of social networks.
Members of the team could attempt to prompt Facebook for details on the company’s post algorithm, and ask for a reveal of the site’s censorship policies, Channel 12 explained.
Some potential regulations detailed in the news broadcast include holding platforms legally accountable for damaging content on their sites.
The possible restrictions could mark a first for the largely unregulated industry if imposed.
