My main problem with social media is that the users are the product.
So perhaps we should take it a step further and clarify that posts by a user are the property of that user, and they cannot be used for marketing, placed behind a paywall, etc without the express permission by and reasonable compensation to the user. If the platform is nonprofit, there's no compensation to share. The platform can show or hide content as it sees fit, but it must share revenue.
The creator then takes full legal responsibility for their posts.
Or something along those lines.
