Robert Epstein, a former editor of Psychology Today, advocates for independent monitoring systems to track big tech companies like Google that could manipulate public opinion. His initiative, America's Digital Shield, collects data on how Google personalizes content for users, enabling real-time identification of biases. Epstein also stresses the need for public exposure of manipulative practices as a deterrent, suggesting that making Google's search index a public commons could foster competition and algorithmic diversity, thus countering their existing monopoly.
Epstein emphasizes the significance of creating independent monitoring systems that track Big Tech's manipulations, allowing transparency and accountability regarding their influence on public opinion.
He believes that exposing the manipulative practices of companies like Google can deter their misconduct and promote more ethical corporate behavior without resorting to legal actions.
