VPNs were already there, so why bother with a different approach. That's also something the whole "age verification", "let's protect the children from x" online is going to run into - the root cause of all that is not that there are means to access certain content in a certain way, it's the purpose and context in which the access takes place. So for X to solve its authenticity issue... that's a tricky one. They want to allow "all opinions" and yet they want to limit the ones that aren't authentic. So how do you know if a post is authentic? What makes a person more or less "authentic"? For me, it's really a fundamental issue of "this medium is not suitable to measure or label authenticity" (social media).
