Online Media Regulation
Machine Learning:
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that provides systems the ability o automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.
A.I.:
The theory and development of computer system able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence.
Algorithm:
A process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
"The audience no long exists. All that remains is a hyperreal construction forged by algorithms."
Zoella is not targeting an audience, but is using algorithmic practice to target a theoretical machine fabricated audience.
I think that the UK Government has a right to intervene within reason, much like a police raid. This is because the internet is almost seen as a free space, and almost has a right to be unregulated because of how vast it is. I think it would be a waste of resources to funnel everything into regulating and censoring content, as per Streisand effect anything that is attempted to be censored will only become more and more popular. I feel that instead, better awareness education and more focus on securing the people instead of the content would work.
I think that the concept and model of self-regulation comes from the fact that the internet for a long while, was just a lawless land where anyone could upload whatever they liked, as the internet wasn't mainstream, there was no need to regulate it. This has then just been transferred into the modern age.
From this report, I think that the regulation falls on all parties involved, the government, the social media companies, the content creators, and the audience. It could be argued that it is the audience's fault the least, as they cannot choose what to view when it is forced upon them by the content creators and the social media companies.
