I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again,
Much as I appreciate Biden Admin’s Antitrust efforts, wouldn’t it be quicker to reform social media if US Gov’t provided a public option for Facebook, Twitter, etc?

And then they let domestic terrorists run wild after 2020 election (removing the guardrails they put up during the campaign season) culminating in Jan. 6th Coup attempt

Would be worth it
Maybe a non-profit like ProPublica, or a team of universities or newspapers, could run it
