I am not talking the US in particular here. I am saying these decisions should be made by courts not by private institutions, that have stakes in that game.

So instead of being made by private companies, they should be made by unelected partisan judges....

I am not talking about any particular existing nation state. I am saying that the problems we are experiencing could be solved by having some form of "constituted digital public spaces and platforms". I am well aware of the practical difficulties in establishing these. But it's our inability to create those spaces that is hurting us here.
