We don't need to ban social networks. We need to ban algorithms on them.

That alone will make social networks bearable and safe for most people.

God, open and fully transparent algorithms with good defaults and the ability to switch between them and fine tune them would go so hard.

Uhhh, being able to import your own algorithm would create an open source library of good algorithms ... that'd be the dream.
