The IQ/MQ Public Layer
Freedom of Speech, Civic Labeling, and the Moral Visibility of Public Discourse
From the essay
This position paper grows out of a shift in the IQ/MQ project. The first form of the IQ/MQ Filter was deliberately personal. It was imagined as a user-owned adaptive layer between platform and timeline, a private instrument by which an individual could govern the quality of what enters his or her own informational life. That original framing remains valid. The feed is already filtered, and the central question remains whether the filtering is hidden, engagement-driven, and platform-owned, or visible, adjustable, and meaningfully user-owned.
