The sketchy thing about the whole "restrict social media" thingy is: no one debates what should even count as "social media". This is set up for making a bunch of rules that over- and underrestrict in non-predictable but nevertheless well exploitable ways anyway.
Which means, obviously, like you are into, the thing to restrict are various aspects of algorithms, not "social media".
Second that. And since we are having a hard time to effectively fight the algorithm data mining companies, I'd like to see state and local authorities to set up their own masto/ppertube etc and also in the idea of public service make and fund content for the fediverse.
I'd like to move my kids from YT to the fediverse, but there's almost nothing there that could remotely interest them. And me alone, I can't find or aggregate what little there is.
