Designing a Regulatory Framework for Digital Markets
Imagine you are a policy advisor tasked with mitigating the negative effects of digital market manipulation on consumers. Based on the understanding that corporations can actively shape consumer preferences by exploiting cognitive biases, propose a specific, actionable policy or regulation. In your proposal, you must:
- Identify a specific manipulative technique used in digital markets.
- Explain the behavioral principle it exploits.
- Detail how your proposed policy would counteract this manipulation.
- Justify why your policy is a better approach than simply educating consumers.
