I think a lot of the nonsense on the internet happens because companies become a necessary intermediary for communication.
I believe this would be solved except...
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
So companies NEED to be intermediaries "for security", "for discovery", because we need TURN, (...and for subscriptions, for ad serving, for revenue idea of the week, etc)
If more folks were able to use peer to peer communications (think families, not phishing/trolling/etc) a lot of this nonsense would go away.
