> ...the answers to our problems with social media are not more moderators, just as the answer to PC security was not virus scanners, but to change the model - to remove whole layers of mechanics that enable abuse. So, for example, Instagram doesn’t have links, and Clubhouse doesn’t have replies, quotes or screenshots. This is effectively already what many newspapers do in disabling commentary on certain articles. I often notice this on the CBC that whenever there's any article about indigenous people posted, comments will be disabled to prevent incredible amounts of racism.
