A simple and more robust strategy is to force players to open up communication protocols, allowing end-users a variety of (federated) clients to communicate through. Users no more held hostage, that will encourage healthy market mechanisms in policy/curation decisions be it “disinformation” or whatever heuristic. And it would be great to have services with a variety of different policies so people can choose what they like and where to self-associate.

That way there’s no need for detailed and heavy-handed regulation, only an enforcement of a common protocol.

Users are 100% of the power, and getting rid of network effects would reduce platform adoption to the quality of the platform..
