  • There’s no easy fix for this

    You can start by being honest and transparent.

    This is only a misinformation problem because there is a trust problem.

    There is only a trust problem because of a long history of repeatedly breaking that trust.

    The absolutely last thing you want is for regulation to limit speech of the influencers. You want to give them no reason to think there is foul play. You have to fight it with the truth.

    Remove corporations’ and political parties’ right to privacy. Privacy is for humans. Everything else goes on a public ledger.

    Make all scientific publications public and free forever. Science should not be paywalled.

    Always mark (not remove) misinformation and enforce a notification system on all platforms to users who saw content that later turned out to be misinformation. Always provide evidence for why it was misinformation. Make reading the misinformation notifications mandatory to keep your social media account.


  • This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

    If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

    If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

    If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

    If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.
