Maybe the solution is to put a restriction on business, news agencies, and government services from using it?

But that opens another can of worms. A precedence for a governing body to say which platforms can be used for reaching your audience. I'm afraid the change will have to come from the bottom

If anything, I'd phrase it "public service messaging has to operate on platforms which don't require an account to read". But that doesn't solve the problem of general culture on the service
