spir-10483	Gorwa, Robert	TOWARDS FAIRNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TRANSPARENCY IN PLATFORM GOVERNANCE	2018.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1261	70	48	The paper explores Facebook’s recent (and ongoing) efforts to become more transparent, while also showing how Facebook policy is a kind of “black-box,” with the effect that process of policy decision-making, and the motives and goals behind these policies are not transparent or clear to the users who are directly affected by them. Investigating accountability suggests that Facebook policy processes are responsive to the public in certain ways (especially public backlash and “PR fires,” which could be said to constitute a narrow form of “public accountability”), but ultimately are limited in their accountability to the public due to their corporate structure and incentives.	cache/spir-10483.pdf	txt/spir-10483.txt
