At the end of the article the author provides 3 high level areas to focus on improving. (1) and (3) clearly have nothing to do with censorship. It's also not fair, in my opinion, to assume that (2) implies censorship considering the author doesn't give any detail on HOW to reform social media. If the solution to (2) is "require social media companies to offer a chronological news feed," which has been suggested a bazillion times in the comments, how is that censorship?
Personally, I think the word "censorship" should be reserved for governmental suppression but that ship sailed a long time ago.
>> I proposed three imperatives: (1) harden democratic institutions so that they can withstand chronic anger and mistrust, (2) reform social media so that it becomes less socially corrosive, and (3) better prepare the next generation for democratic citizenship in this new age.
