i don’t think the crux of the issue is determining how to legislate the priv/publ dichotomy, but rather how can we enable as many people as desire an ability to establish their own chalkboard.
legislation as its proceeding is serving to entrench big tech platforms, its disabling the common person from having their own chalkboard with its own moderation preferences.
let the market decide.
this, in my opinion, is not the place for law. you don’t like how twitter does things? use a different app. it doesn’t exist? build it.
this includes things like legislation determining how to “appropriately” handle user data. it would be very easy to make it too expensive for any one person to “appropriately” handle user data in their webapp, which is my concern with the current twitter drama

- BlueTemplar 4y agoThis would be very easy for ISPs to set up on their leased routers. In fact until recently most people would have their email come from their ISP ! Some would also have a personal website space - mine is somehow still up 20 years later ! (At the time, routers wouldn't be common, especially not full-blown Linux computers, so it was all on ISP's servers.) The only tricky part (which is perhaps even worse already with the "cloud"), is that some legislation is needed to simplify transfers (and not just the file ones) from one ISP to another, like we already have with phone numbers.
