A state-run social media network could become an alternative to Twitter or Facebook, but it could also pose a risk to our privacy and freedom

Definitely would want the charter to stipulate that nothing is stored for longer than a year.

Personally, I think it would be more effective to just legally mandate websites and apps default to chronological sort every time you open them. Users would still be able to opt in to the black-box alg sort, but they'd have to do it every single time.

No to state owned. It's too susceptible to corruption.

It would be corrupt on day 1

what would help is state verified identities on social media that are anonymized by the state and the media sites.

this means verified users cannot be bots or foreign nationals.

if you abuse your identity you cannot just create a new avatar and continue

identities could be stolen or sold but this would be controlled in the same way id theft/abuse has been managed digitally for quite a while now

Move to China, we don't need you here.

This assumes a benign state/host. What I would want from the law is enforcing interoperability and transferability between networks - a portable identity that can be transferred in the first sign of trouble to a different provider.

You can move to China - they already have one!
