What makes internet policy understandable to non-specialists?

A discussion about technical rules becomes much easier when it starts with an everyday example. Would you rather read a short scenario about a user, a diagram showing the network, or a comparison of the proposed options?

Which privacy issue would you want explained more clearly?

Data brokers, tracking pixels, targeted advertising, and the settings meant to control them can be difficult to untangle. Which part of digital privacy would you most like someone to explain clearly?

Where should esports competition rules draw the line on public speech?

A tournament needs rules, but players also have views about the world outside the game. Would you distinguish between speech during an official interview, on a personal account, and on the competition stage? What would a clear policy look like?

What should a platform explain when it removes a community?

A clear rule, the behaviour that crossed it, and what happens next seem like useful starting points. How much detail would make a moderation announcement understandable without turning it into another argument?

Should a community decide which external platforms it links to?

Blocking links can express a community's values, but it can also make useful material harder to discuss. Would you prefer a ban, a warning, or a rule asking people to include enough context that nobody has to click away?
