I'm against banning things. It's better to teach users how not to use these platforms.

It's more effective, because it has a long term effect.

I like the Danish idea to label EU products in supermarkets. Information is a good first step.

I get updates on X from my local news and police stations about traffic, weather, etc. We'd need to get this type of stuff into another single platform before many people would switch.

How will they switch if they're already consolidated where they are? People are employed to manage these accounts, it'll just be their responsibility to migrate to the new platform.

That's the problem, we need a platform that's popular enough to catch their attention/make it worth the effort to post twice - which is half the reason anyone is still using Twitter. Trust me, I'm no fan of it and I avoid the comment section like the plague :/
