    Ids being sent to US social media companies is a really bad idea. Gating internet with id checks is bad too.

    Restrict data gathering and require transparency of algorith and manipulation of feeds. It’s the black box algorithm and editorializing that is the problem. The issues they cause are not contained to kids.

    Make stringent regulation that is tied to a platforms user count. If they don’t follow regulation, restrict their access to your market.

    Make social media unprofitable again!

      They won’t be sending ids to social media companies.

      Gating the internet with government checked ids based on open source platforms is the only way to tackle bot farms, malign foreign actors and psyops. If you live in a free country and want an honest public square that’s what you want. You want to know who is a real single individual and a citizen of your country or the EU and who is not.

      People who demonstrate in France Spain and so on don’t hide their faces and destroy their ids, there is no need, what’s your argument here? Why is the internet any different? Don’t fool yourself: the internet is the greatest psyop and normalizing anonymity in free countries only helps their enemies.
