> reach millions of people I think this is the heart of the problem. These social media companies didn't merely build agoras, they built amphitheaters. They build amphitheaters so large that control over the amphitheater makes you a kingmaker. Now they can't let go of that control, because doing so would risk the wrong people using it. They never should have built amphitheaters this large in the first place. Better if they had built thousands of smaller amphitheaters, or none at all. Stop giving anybody bullhorns that can reach millions of people. Let ideas reach millions of people the natural way. One person tells a few hundred people their ideas, using the un-amplified power of their own voice. If what they say has any sense, each of those hundreds can tell hundreds more, and each of those can tell hundreds more again. That's how one person can reach millions, without the existence of massive kingmaker amphitheaters.
