This is how you get kids on unregulated matrix servers talking to nonces.
Fucking idiots
Similarly unregulated and shadow banking infrastructure exists for various reasons but the universal availability of mainstream banks basically means most people have options where the platform is not allowed to deliberately fuck them.
This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs.
It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.
"These findings challenge the assumption that disagreement is inherently divisive and extend interpersonal relationship research by providing a better understanding of its consequences. They point to listening quality as a pathway to SWB and social connection, even when views are opposing." 👍
But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers.

In light of Palestine Action still being proscribed as a terrorist organisation, it's worth recycling an older thread:
UK Counter-terrorism is a repackaging of colonial counterinsurgency methods deployed to control dissent. It is racial, and Palestine has always been at its core.
I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x

Force them to implement evidence based safeguarding policies. Make them prove continuous improvement in prevention. Make them earn their place at the top of the platform market.
If this was banking or any other sector, they lose millions of pounds a day in fines for even cyber security and fraud prevention violations. It's literally just basic governance to make it hurt when they don't take responsibility for their customers.
You'd only need a small team of policy/evidence bureaucrats to evaluate evidence of improvements in safeguarding for the major platforms.
Perhaps even with some international standardisation you could create portable assessments of safeguarding improvements that cover a bunch of allied territories.
