Sorry, this went right out of my head. You're right. 100 million users looked very low to me, but is basically a third of the US population. I think my gut feeling is that a private network with that much of a reach is an issue in the first place, whatever positions we hold (just assume that network is eventually bought by your worse nightmare). Social media as we know it not existing beyond that line doesn't sound outlandish to me (ideally it becomes the same as our real public spaces: they're so limited that nothing much happens on them except when the cops run in and loudly arrest streakers. Otherwise it just disappears). The idealistic view is to let users decide, yet we're in a situation where there's nowhere left acting as a public space.
