Koo co-founder bats for transparent algorithms in social media

Taking transparent and consistent approach to algorithms is a conscious choice to be made by every social media platform, and is “the right way to go” to establish trust with users, homegrown microblogging platform Koo’s co-founder and CEO Aprameya Radhakrishna has said.

While self-regulation should be the first step, separate instructions are needed in cases where platforms are not living up to the expectation of users, or found to be violating norms, Radhakrishna said.

“It is our choice to remain transparent and consistent, and that is the value add we are bringing into the world of social media,” Radhakrishna told PTI when asked about the debate raging over algorithmic bias on certain platforms.
