学术写作分析
学术讨论题目回忆：
DoctorDiazIn your opinion, should governments regulate socialmedia platforms, or should social media companies regulate their platforms themselves? Why do you think so?
Andrew:
lbelieve social media companies should regulate themselves. There are plenty of social media platforms on the market, so the competitionis tough. For example, to appeal to parents, a social media platform could publicize that they have stringent regulations for children's use of theplatform.In this way, it could attract more users who care about children's safety.
Claire:
Social media companies should be taking an active role in combating the negative effects, butthat is not really happening. l hear many stories offalse information spreading around, sometime scausing irreparable damage to people's reputations. Therefore, the government should put stricter regulations on the companies, and they should be punished for not following the rules.
审题注意点
(1) 这道题9.4日刚出。难倒了一片同学。结果，刚隔了2个星期，再出！
关注我们写作团、公众号的同学就有福了! 因为当时老师就第一时间出了这道题的考题分析。
这是一个是一个政府类+媒体类的新题。也是一个很紧跟时事的新题了。
比如，大家最熟悉的Tik Tok就在美国受到严格的政府的监管，甚至是排挤了…
除此之外，马克扎博的Facebook之前也因为在美国大选宣传中的影响，受到美国国会的传讯。最近社媒-telegram电报创始人在法国被抓，也正是因为认为他们监管不利的原因….
所以，托福今天是考了一个在美国非常火热的话题了：随着社交媒体在全球范围的影响越来越大，到底谁应该来监管。
但是，对这个话题比较陌生的中国同学，可能看到这个题目可能都要心头一紧了。
这个时候一定要沉着冷静。不要想复杂了，不要涉及政治/宗教/族裔等敏感内容, 选择一个自己觉得好写的角度切入。
对于政府来说，可以从监管的有效性来分析。
对于公司来说，可以从公司自身的发展来分析。
(2) 可行的分论点：
政府监管：
--有效地减少犯罪，维护社会稳定。因为盈利性的社交媒体公司，为了赚钱都会最大限度的满足用户的需求，因此往往会纵容用户在媒体上发布一些暴力，色情，甚至是引发冲突的仇恨言论，虚假消息。这样会给整个社会造成不良的影响，甚至是动乱，尤其是还未对社会有全面认识的未成年人。比如，我的一个弟弟就因为看了太多关于世界的负面言论，总是对消极。（government regulation, disinformation, hate speech, public safety）
公司自己监管：
--能够更好地促进自身的发展。如果政府对社会媒体监管，容易管控太严格，限制了媒体的发展。比如，在俄罗斯，政府就要公司严格审查用户发布的内容和话题，导致很多很少人愿意使用社交媒体。公司发展缓慢。而如果公司自己监管，他们就可以蓬勃发展。
--监管更加快速和灵活。因为政府一般当问题很严重到给社会造成了明显的恶劣影响时才会实施监管，发布措施和法令。这就很慢了。而公司自己监管，就可以第一时间对有问题的内容进行审核。（self-regulation, community guidelines, flexibility, immediate action, corporate oversight）
参考范文：
I side with xxx’s perspective that it is better and wiser for the government to supervise social media platforms. Governments prioritize societal well-being and crime prevention, whereas social media companies often focus primarily on profit, striving to maximize user engagement.
This commercial drive can lead to the unchecked spread of harmful content, including violence, pornography, hate speech, and disinformation, as initially seen on major platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter.Government intervention has proven beneficial, with stringent regulations and legal actions against platforms failing to censor detrimental content, steering social media towards more responsible operations. For instance, my brother joined Twitter at 14, a time when it was rife with extreme and divisive speech. This exposure significantly shaped his worldview, fostering a negative and resentful attitude towards society even thoughhe actually leads a wealthy and easy life.Thus, it is crucial for governments, rather than corporations, to regulate social media to ensure they serve the public good without compromising safety and societal values.（158字）
