This panel discussed how many decisions that affect public discourse on online platforms are made before the first user logs on. Speech on the internet is shaped by platforms' structural choices including:

  • The length of permitted submissions
  • Whether posts are permanent or disappear over time
  • How the content that users see is selected
  • The control granted to users over who sees their own posts
  • Mechanisms for the reporting and removal of content considered offensive
