I know everyone is pointing out that's not what it says but there is a solution hiding in plain sight. Give us the moderation tools that Facebook/Twitter etc have.
For example, Twitter routinely announces things like "we cleared out 50,000 fake accounts". Why can't I see the little score that an account has telling me if it's likely to be a bot, or a troll? Twitter has this info, why can't I?
Why can't I filter out all people who appear to be X, Y, or Z? It could be anything that the social network's moderators can see. Why can't I have proper search? Why can't I order my feed according to how I wish it to be? I bet moderators can get this kind of thing when they're looking at posts.
The answer to all of these things in the media is usually to limit speech because someone was nasty to someone else. Just let us have the tools, give power to the people instead of taking it away and treating us all like children.
Nah, what a silly idea!
