Instead of attacking specific content or specific people/personal info, what if we go at the structure and system instead?

- Don't care about the content of the tweet (no fact checking boards)

- Don't care to register who sent it (no privacy leak to government)

"Attack" the structure:

- Heavily tune down features that can enable posts on social media to go viral. Basically ban virality. Boosting high-emotion posts above all else is the largest systemic issue.

Yes, it's heavy-handed, but it's not censorship. It's not registering who has which political opinions. It's just changing the rules equally for all, to create a better forum.
