I understand your reasoning but on the other hand it seems like any attempt to reel in big tech ends up in "all roads lead to censorship/free speech infringement" territory.
So there's really no way to reign in big tech on any of this?
- nickthegreek 2y agoSure there are. You can regulate that there must be a variety of algorithms available to users where they can choose. Having some control to fully opt out or augment in a way you want would be nice. You could regulate then removal of section 230 protections for platforms that use certain types of algorithms or fail to release reports on specific transparency metrics. We can regulate that accounts marked as children upon creation need to be separated out from main servers to their own playground. There are many options available besides users showing papers whenever they want to participate in speech on the internet. The issue is nuance and that never plays well for legislation.

- nickthegreek 2y agoMarked as children in the same way they do today. I am assuming parental caring here. Don’t knowingly allow children into your bar. If a parent marks an account as a child during its creation, they are segregated. YouTube has YouTube kids. It’s not a requirement, but they try to make a safer environment for those who aren’t mature enough or able to handle the risk of full YouTube. It’s not perfect right? But I like that direction.
