Creating a Digital Public Square

As our lives increasingly move online, we need to carefully consider how to maintain and protect free expression in digital spaces.

Principles for Digital Discourse

1. Accessibility: Everyone should have the ability to participate
2. Transparency: Clear rules and consistent moderation
3. Protection: Safety from harassment while preserving free expression
4. Diversity: Encouraging a variety of viewpoints and perspectives

Challenges We Face

• Balancing moderation with free expression
• Preventing echo chambers
• Maintaining civil discourse
• Protecting privacy while ensuring accountability

The digital public square should be a place where ideas can be freely shared and debated, while maintaining respect for all participants.
