DESCRIPTION:Large platforms\, such as Facebook\, have become the mediators
  of public discourse which has created tensions since these platforms are 
 designed to maximize engagement and advertising revenue. In this talk\, I 
 will motivate why it is essential to conduct independent auditing of these
  platforms and present our frameworks for improving platform accountabilit
 y. Using our auditing frameworks\, I will present our results from two cas
 e studies focused on independently auditing Facebook's political advertisi
 ng transparency and engagement difference between partisan news content ba
 sed on factualness. Finally\, I will discuss challenges to auditing platfo
 rms and present recommendations for improving access to public platform co
 ntent. \n\nRECORDING : Please note\, this event will be recorded and will
