8: Self-Regulation
Promote social computing architectures and governing models that facilitate self-regulation. Other Information:
There is much anecdotal evidence that social computing technologies enable (groups of) elderly and citizens with special needs
to support each other, mobilise and organise (e.g. silver surfers, seniorweb). Social computing technologies enable selforganisation
and self-regulation. With fewer options to orchestrate and regulate in an increasingly connected world, governments should
stimulate the emergence of these mechanisms, particularly where they support key public values and goals. One way to do this
is by promoting social computing architectures and governing models that facilitate self-regulation. Principles of good governance
that apply to traditional government should extend to social computing initiatives when these initiatives cross into the realm
of public-service delivery.
