I respectfully disagree... They already exercise some censorship that is mostly biased towards the interests of the company (e.g. instances of war crimes being censored on Meta platforms).

Holding them accountable would make them beholden to the truth (and, partially to us)... Not to whomever they sell our private data to.

I think this is crucial distinction which may help reduce politization.

I don't understand how this would work. Who determines what's true?

At the very least, you could try differentiating between opinions and facts... And facts could be verified via knowledge graphs.

It'd have to be open-source and reproducibility should be a core value (so we can start healing some of the scientific fields' reproducibility crises).
