For every urgent public issue today, social media platforms could identify in less than a day the relative handful of mis- and disinformation hubs on their platforms, driving resistance to action. And shut them down. Fast. Easy. This is where big ideas matter. 1/3

Their ‘content moderation’ processes, if they still exist, relied upon the same idiot idea that everybody needs to be regulated, all at the same time. Why they end up using algorithms. No humans could manage the volume. But it’s also completely misguided. 2/3

It relies upon the same stupid idea that societies are ‘the people’ running things. They’re not, they’re nearly everybody following a tiny handful of people, in each domain of life. Shut down the hubs - there will be tiny numbers of them - the rest fixes itself. /end
