I’ve been thinking about this for some time, since so many people (including me) seem to struggle with this, even while being completely aware of our behavior.

I’ve been thinking about this for some time, since so many people (including me) seem to struggle with this, even while being completely aware of our behavior.
I think legislation should force social networks to:
- have a reverse chronological timeline for your network
- optionally disable any algorithmic recommendations
Social Media companies are mostly unrestricted in the current legislation system while they are trying their hardest to maximize user engagement.
Just like the use of certain drugs this something some people can’t responsively deal with themselves, hence it should be regulated.
And probably my idea is not very fleshed out, but I think something has to be done, and it has to come from states as the companies themselves can’t be held responsible.
