should we ban social media? (www.youtube.com)

While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

Yeah that is also I thought I have, but usually more with encryption. If the government (or any other entity really) wants to mandate a backdoor to private messages, I'll just host my own service for that. They can't control every private person (at least as long encryption isn't broken). The same idea would could be applied to social-media. Even if there's a total ban, they won't be able to prosecute anyone hosting their own little server.

It's a moot point. There's no political appetite for such a ban, and those vested interests are fully entrenched in our way of life. They have to be done away with by other means, if at all
