We have one of those, the WWW.

What we need is a decentralized method for the social aspects: identity management, networking (following/liking, etc), etc. We had some of that with the early blogosphere stuff, but we largely let it slide into oblivion.

I suppose the Internet is a "content platform," but that's in the most basic sense of the term. I mean things like YouTube and Vessel that are trying to bring together all those things you mention. If anything, I wouldn't begin to consider a service to be a content platform unless it had those things.
