I understand your echo chamber argument but I don’t find it compelling. I think preserving freedom of expression specifically and liberty in general is more important than forcing ideas on people against their will and the foundation of our society.
The question was “do we need a new internet” the answer to which is “no.” In my opinion. I don’t care if a bunch of hateful racists are marginalized by private organizations.
The problem here is not the network, the problem is people who want to force their ideas on everyone. Luckily our technical and social systems are both resistant to such threats.
