الوصف: Systems for large scale deliberation have resolved polarized issues and shifted agenda setting into the public's hands. These systems integrate bridging-based ranking algorithms - including group informed consensus implemented in Polis and the continuous matrix factorization approach implemented by Twitter Birdwatch - making it possible to highlight statements which enjoy broad support from a diversity of opinion groups. Polis has been productively employed to foster more constructive political deliberation at nation scale in law making exercises. Twitter Birdwatch is implemented with the intention of addressing misinformation in the global public square. From one perspective, Twitter Birdwatch can be viewed as an anti-misinformation system which has deliberative aspects. But it can also be viewed as a first step towards a generalized deliberative system, using Twitter's misinformation problem as a proving ground. In this paper, we propose that Twitter could adapt Birdwatch to produce maps of public opinion. We describe a system in five parts for generalizing Birdwatch: activation of a deliberative system and topic selection, population sampling and the role of expert networks, deliberation, reporting interpretable results and finally distribution of the results to the public and those in power.
