While the board is limited to reviewing specific content (CNBC Oversight Board) or (The Conversation 6 Questions about the Facebook Oversight Board), your employer has asked you to prepare a risk assessment of Facebook’s entire business in order to better understand the current environment.\u00a0 Your employer is concerned about the limitations of her appointment and potential impact on Facebook operations.\u00a0 She has asked you to develop a risk assessment of the top three risk issues at Facebook, provide a short background, current impacts, potential solutions and your proposed solution. To complete this assignment, you are going to demonstrate the five steps of ethical decision making.\u00a0 You may find it helpful to review this power point from earlier in our course – 4073 ETHICAL DECISION MAKING REFERENCE FOR FB CASE.pptxStep 1: You need to find three ethical issues regarding the recently released and reported Facebook Papers.\u00a0 As mentioned in the agenda, you need to read the Wired article “15 Months of Fresh Hell Inside Facebook (Links to an external site.)” AND the Verge article “Eight Things We Learned From the Facebook Papers (Links to an external site.).”\u00a0 You will then choose articles for this assignment from this list from Protocol that links to all coverage of the Facebook Papers. The risk assessment requires you to identify three different issues at Facebook.\u00a0 You will complete one page per issue.\u00a0 On each page, you will identify the issue, provide high level background, develop options for remediating the risk, and then choose one of those options to implement. Issues:\u00a0 “But Professor Coonce, how do I find ethical issues at Facebook?” Consider all of the different ethical issues covered this semester – corporate governance (board of directors, government regulators), treatment of employees, treatment of suppliers, treatment of customers, product based issues and lack of leadership…I know the Facebook Papers articles reflect many of these issues.And here is a short list that pops into my head -internet.org\/free basics,tracking non-facebook users,employee treatment of moderators,the business culture of facebook,how newsfeed algorithms work,how Facebook is\/was used in other countries (Ukraine, Myanmar, Philippines, India, etc.),data sharing with 3rd party apps,tracking users when they are off Facebook,fact checking of content, orpolitical advertising strategies…and this is my list from prior to the release of the Facebook Papers!For this assignment, you will choose three articles to review from this list.\u00a0 Each article contains at least one if not many ethical issues for you to focus on for the assignment.Step 2: BackgroundTell me a little background on the issue.\u00a0 I do not need an essay.\u00a0 I want you to demonstrate you understand the issue.\u00a0 Also, you need to understand the following about Facebook:Board of Directors,Mark Zuckerberg’s Ownership Power,Revenue Totals, and Business Lines.You don’t need go deep on these topics, but you must understand the basic power dynamics of the business in order to develop a strong remediation strategy.\u00a0 Step 3: Current and Potential ImpactsTell me why this issue is a problem.\u00a0 What are the impacts?\u00a0 Describe the impacts the issue is causing.Think why does this matter?\u00a0 Who cares about this?\u00a0 Why do they care?\u00a0 Remember our lessons on stakeholders. Tell me what you think!Step 4: Remediation OptionsHow can you fix this issue?\u00a0 Give me three options that you believe may help remediate or lessen the risk.\u00a0 Can you eliminate the risk?\u00a0 Can you throw more benefits or money at the issue?\u00a0 Can you make it stop completely and if so, how?\u00a0 Reviewing our course video titled Ethical Decision Making might be helpful when developing alternative remediation options.That being said, you must be thoughtful about what you propose. Remember why businesses exist – while the business may have a higher purpose stated (i.e., Facebook mission – \u201cto give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.\u201d\u00a0 Editor’s note:\u00a0 ahem.\u00a0 ok, then.), most businesses are required to make money, employ humans and deliver the services they promise in order to exist. Step 5: Suggested Remediation StrategyIn step 4, you developed three remediation options.\u00a0 Choose the best option.\u00a0 The best option is the one you believe will help mitigate the risk and remediate the issue while allowing the business to continue.\u00a0 HINT: If one of your remediation options is to kill a major part of the revenue stream of Facebook, I would not suggest you use this as your final option. Reminder, here is how Facebook makes money: https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/120114\/how-does-facebook-fb-make-money.asp\u00a0 (Links to an external site.)You must be mindful of developing\/choosing a remediation strategy that does not kill the revenue stream. Remember, you are working for a member of the Facebook Oversight Board.\u00a0 To offer an option that kills the business will hurt your grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
