Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.
Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

Considering that, in the Firefox article, this links to an article [1] by The New York Times lamenting with no self-awareness whatsoever that Facebook reversed its temporary signal-boosting of The New York Times... I'm really not comfortable with how "factual" is being defined.

I just don't want them to stop at "We should all listen to what the mainstream center-left media says".
