The current alternative is that unaccountable private interests control this, so some regulation in this regard seems reasonable to me. However, swapping private control for public control is only barely better.

The best solution that I can think of is ending algorithmic feeds, and having subscription feeds, or maybe user curated feeds, only.

I think moving algorithmic feeds out of section 230 would do the trick. Once you’re curating the feed, you’re no longer a neutral platform.

Could already be argued it's not, right? The post is from another user, and the platform isn't liable for hosting it, but the feed is from the platform and the platform can be held liable for it.

This is the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. This would solve so much.
