We need something different than "repeal 230" because this is largely believed to be something that will chill speech. Platforms will take down speech out of an abundance of caution. I'm not exactly sure what the answer is, but we can place two constraints 1. Anyone can say anything online, free speech for individuals 2. Algorithms that act as "editors" are not free speech and should be regulated. Perhaps the answer is to say that social media algorithms can only be chronological and M0% from your direct network. Reposts and quotes seem to be one of the core features that enable virality and dog piling. We need to "slow the spread" - to borrow a phase from one of our least favorite times. Another thing we need is a privacy preserving method for proving humanism online. | ||||||||

I'm not sure it's possible. Platforms want to be an enticing place for advertisers. Spam, porn, and bots, are all free speech. It's a hard problem. | ||||||||
