The organization is reportedly called Beyond the Screen and aims to achieve three goals: train lawyers who can tackle tech firms, encourage investors to analyze how socially responsible a tech firm is before funding, and provide regulators and opportunities. for researchers to become familiar with the inner workings of tech companies.
Haugen reportedly worked with two people on the project and plans to raise around $5 million to kickstart the organization. The report also stated that it has received some funds from unnamed donors. Haugen said he hopes Beyond the Screen will give lawyers a better chance when facing class action lawsuits with social media companies.
Haugen also hopes to develop a metric that investors can use to compare how different social media companies are working to protect their users. Haugen hopes to one day develop a social networking model that can be used to demonstrate and test how platforms and algorithms work.
The idea is to create a simulated social media network that will help people better understand how these platforms work and how their data is used. said Haugen Fashion Last year, he wanted to create “an open-source social network for students of all ages to learn and experiment.”
Haugen said his goal is to one day invalidate his own organization because social media companies no longer need enthusiastic watchdogs. “My biggest hope is that I don’t have a relationship anymore,” he told Politico.
