One major flaw of these mediums is they need to be divided into ‘social’ only, ‘business’ only & ‘political’ only.
Life is messy.
Human lives are even messier by an order of magnitude.
Unless you can admit this and make allowances for it you're going to make everything worse.
So that if a person just wants to sell a product or service its of course business only. But if they wanna gab about someone’s gf or bf whatever then they have to post in a social medium. And of course political posts belong in political only.
What if what they're selling is political (merch, analysis, lobbying, etc.)?
Do they have to stay in the business lane or the politics lane?
What if, in the course of a business transaction, the buyer and seller make a bit of small talk... do they have to move into the chit-chat lane to do that and then move back into the business lane to finalize the deal?
What about family members and friends of politicians... will they be prohibited from chit-chatting about their friend/family unless they do it in the political section and wouldn't that, too, be a violation?
For example Twitter should do this.
And so should Facebook.
No.
No one should do this.
It's a horrible idea that would only create a monstrous bureaucracy and lead to censorship abuses on a massive scale.
We're talking about a "disinformation governance board" on fucking steroids.
Nobody needs that.
I never post on twitter or tik tok because I don’t feel safe on either. Someone can easily misinterpret something you said or quote it out of context
That's not the fault of Twitter or TikTok.
That's simply how humans communicate.
The only way to 100% prevent miscommunications is to never open your mouth in the first place.
Not only is that inadvisable, it's essentially impossible (unless you're a monk living in a monastery?).
Social media in general is poorly regulated and it needs a shakeup to protect its users
The users of social media don't need to be protected from each other.
They need to be protected from the rapacious business models of monopolistic tech companies. They need to be protected from a surveillance state embedded in the codes of social media platforms and the unconscionable willingness of tech companies to do the bidding of malicious state-affiliated agents.
They need to be protected from people who would do horrific things in the names of "safety" and "security".
They need to be protected, it turns out, from people like you.
