Social media can be fixed, its just the incentives are not aligned. To make money, social media companies need people to stay on as long as possible. That means showing people sex, violence, rage and huge amounts of copyright infringements. There is little advantage in creating real-world consequences for bad actors. Why? because it hurts growth. There was a reason why the old TV networks didn't let any old twat with a camera broadcast stuff on their network, why? because they would get huge fines if they broke decency "laws" (yes america had/has censorship, hence why the simpsons say "whoopee" and "snuggle") There are few things that can cause company ending fines for social media companies. Which means we get almost no moderation. Until that changes, social media will be "broken"
