I think the outcome here is we tried nothing, and now conclude nothing works. Ok, we tried privacy breaking "protect the children" nonsense. We used to have a much more of public announcement/education system for aspects of society for civil education (School House Rock), for nutrition, for public health (vaccination). All of it has since been deemed frivolous public expenditure - maybe because it worked too well and the need became invisible. |

Letting Big Social and governments sock it out to try to make this work doesn't seem like a winning proposition.
I really cherish Bluesky / atproto in huge part because it offers some chance for organic exploration, for individuals & orgs to test and try many ways to make social media work, to defang the Advanced Persistent Threats of the info-world. Without data that wouldn't necessarily count for much, but the firehose & backfill are also quite easy to get: humanity stands some chance, isn't quite in such a dark forest with the adversary here.
