What you describe is called "namespaces". Plan 9 and Linux have them already.

I think that actual people interested in some topic and having some expertise in it filter out misinformation better than Facebook and Twitter will ever do. Persons repost news from less trusted sources such as news sites with their opinion

"Fake news" is simply an excuse for introducing government control of media, which leads to political censorship. Otherwise government would not care about it more than average citizen do.

We , don't, it is the guys who have money to pay for writing such articles. The problem is automated newsfeed, which makes users read "recommended" content and ads instead of allowing them to choose which sources they trust.

Demanding fair play from Google, Facebook and other large corporations is a losing strategy, especially if the government is not on your side. They have too much freedom to rank search results, advertisements and your feed items however the

The videos are not removed and access is not terminated. The advertisement campaign is terminated, that's all. Surely you have to backup your data, but this case has nothing to do with information access.

Briar works over direct links, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct. Think FireChat.

You say you "don't see the problem" because you see no way to fix things. The problem does not cease to be a problem because of that.

Then it is not we who need a change in the enforcement methods. We still need a change in copyright laws.

If we cannot find better applications for so-called AI than bullshit like sorting photo albums and military applications, maybe we should not do it at all? I am still sure there are enough industrial, medical and civil applications for Goog

It should have been done via DOM manipulation in the first place. What Signal developers did can be compared to constructing raw SQL requests where parameterized queries suffice. Thankfully, it was just fixed: https://github.com&

It does not have to be regulated by any third-party, though. Federated networks participants can regulate networks for themselves. Look at Mastodon network. If some server tolerates spamming, it will be blocked by major servers as a whole.
