Abstract

How can we govern if "we don't know what we want?"¹ In characteristically engaging and thought-provoking fashion, Jonathan Zittrain's Essay interrogates our ongoing struggle to answer this thorny question.² As Professor Zittrain exposes, governing social media firms like Twitter and Facebook is no easy feat.³ Part of the challenge is defining the problem itself: it's hard to diagnose what, exactly, "is so 'obviously' wrong" with social media today.⁴ Naturally, without a consensus on what is wrong, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make it right.
