The real problem with Google, Facebook and other social media companies is that they are two faced. They present themselves as information sources based on organic interactions and ratings of their users but there can't be any guarantee that they don't manipulate feeds for other purposes. Even without an advertising model, we can't go back to a time without curation. People try to game rankings and ratings for other reasons. That means that we can't trust what we see on social and, more importantly, draw any inference from what we don't see. Society needs avenues of unmediated communication. I don't know what that would look like for social.
