no dice. I get where your heart is at, but I'd really rather not have every other message be a "2 girls 1 cup" gif/video, and i'd very much not like every group chat to devolve into the hecklers veto, writ large.
I much prefer the... detente? we had in 2014, the techs stay out of the way, and reasonable leeway was givennas to community abuses.
That may be impossible. If that's the case, then the next easiest way to enforce reasonable action on the socials is to treat them like the platforms they claim to be. Just as we did with ma bell, allow ANYONE using any app to access their networks. can you imagine the ability to mass "reply" to everyone's last tweet from a custom app? I can, and it'd destroy them

Not bad. You a lawyer, Pede? Seems pretty well drafted.
also make it illegal to edit their messages, or rather, make it illegal to spez them
