Do social media platforms perform an analysis of potential societal impact of new features they introduce? If so, what are their methodologies?
I was wondering whether social media platforms perform any reflection or even more in depth analysis of the potential impact on society that they features they introduce could have. For example, the retweet button on Twitter causes a lot of disruption (flame warms, disinformation…etc), and the creator of it has since publicly stated he regretted it. However, has this served as a lesson? Do any of the platforms have any methodologies they use to analyze this before a feature is introduced?
