Where to start is with advertising content regulations. Not just what is shown, but how often. Prevent ad-stalking from following people everywhere they go.
Also, the categorization of people through these platforms is a mass psychological experiment and maybe it should be treated as such.
Finding what pushes people to engage in a topic is often the same as finding their fears. Feeding them with a barrage of imagery and headline that provoke and prod these fears is a recipe for disaster. AI has proven exceptionally good at that.
Profiting from all of this is morally bankrupt.
The saddest part for me is that these platforms are useful but easily replaceable. They are optional tools in our lives but are treated as societal infrastructure. I deleted social media over 2 years ago and I don’t see what all the fuss is.
