Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed
chaosCruiser@futurology.today 1 day agoAmazon, Google and Microsoft would still be there, so the Internet seems to be suffering from metastatic cancer at this point. Cutting off two revolting lumps helps, but the prognosis doesn’t look that great.
There will be a big curtaining of Apple, Microsoft, Google and Adobe if Facebook, TikTok and Twitter (and YouTube) have their algorithmic feeds outlawed.
It would probably cause the AI bubble to burst too so our OSs, Applications and Search Engines (and Government) would become usable again.
who will pay our representatives to push this through?

None of those have had much success in creating social networks that suck people in quite like the others
Not to say they don’t have their own problems, but the bulk of problems with social media come squarely from meta & twitter.

That’s true as far as the social media landscape is concerned. I was talking about the internet as a whole.
