While the second paragraph has been slightly debunked, the first paragraph is an interesting idea I’ve underappreciated/neglected until now.
What do you think? Perhaps this is easier/more-scaleable than having federated instances with decentralised and often complex governance?
I can see non-profits, but I do not want governments running social media platforms. Regulating them, yes - but not running them. They do not have any competence in moderating online conversation, and it would be bad to give them the sole authority to do so.
Agreed. I meant governance in general - but not the government.
