"But suppose the platforms, instead of being owned by oligarchs, were owned by all of us."

I wonder what happens when "all of us" decide that BC should similarly expropriated by the masses in the name of protecting children.

I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that the reason that social media is in the hands of capitalism is because it's an economic system that gets things done. All your shoehorning aside, deliberalizing society will do about as much good as giving everyone a lobotomy. You know precious little about the wisdom of crowds, how it works, and how it doesn't.
