We all want this regardless. Yet we don't. We also want innovation, and that means we have to vote by avoiding the amount of shit coming down the pipe. So for starters I use an ad-blocker. But platforms will still strangle free speech because of their business model acting out.

I think for starters we should have competition, therefore mandate federation between platforms. No big winner-takes-all tech monopolies. But the USA doesn't want to give up the profit, nor the power that comes with it, to own the world.

Perhaps as an example, Google performs an auction in the milliseconds before serving up ads. So it's possible.

In the end platforms will integrate an AI buddy that will come to know us even better, and that represents our ways. Of course we'll want that, but please, federate.
