Unethical Thought Experiments: what if Twitter shrank the retweet button or hid it under the fold to but the brakes on the viral spread?

Put amplification behind a trivial inconvenience that would make knee-jerk retweets less frequent and allow the whole chain reaction to cool down.

Instagram doesn’t have a share/repost feature, but people still do it a lot, either manually or through 3rd part integrations.

This leads to other problems like blocking someone, but still seeing their content because it gets reposted a lot.
