In Reamde, Neal Stephenson posits a future where we pay individuals/services to filter and prioritize the unordered deluge of data from the web.

It seems like this ruling pushes us along that path.

If "social media" services aren't allow filter posts, could Twitter spin off the "social media" service to a new, wholly owned subsidiary company and retain twitter.com as a web client free to filter the service's posts?

I don't see any other possible solution, thanks to what GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion will turn into next year.

You mean like youtube making it premium not to see ads?

Not the same. I pay for YouTube premium but the algorithm continues to push:

1. Political content that is not only unaligned, but diametrically opposed to political content I've previously consumed. 2. Random "Free" movie and youtube original content suggestions (effectively ads, on a supposedly ad-free account).

It's more like the web is a model and you pay someone to curate a personal view of it for you. Instead of going to different news/social websites, it is filtered by someone and streamed directly to you.
