Our Stop Censoring Abortion Campaign Uncovers a Social Media Censorship Crisis

I think one issue is social media is inherently monopolistic. It has network effects from having more users, so a new social media network has trouble being valuable. Sure there have been rare exceptions like TikTok, but if you’re offering a similar social media service as an existing network rather than innovating on the format, your service is worth less because it has fewer users, and the service won’t grow to be competitive. If there isn’t a working competitive environment, I think that is justification for more regulation that makes those companies behave more like government agencies.
