How To Fix Social Media (Before It Destroys Democracy)

Divide regular users into two categories: confirmed and unconfirmed. Unconfirmed users can only view content.
Require confirmed users to go through a verification process similar to online banking.
Display full legal names at all times and hold users legally responsible for their posts.
Rework social media pages to clearly display legal owners and their operating country.
Disable most share functions to limit the spread of misinformation.
Establish a certified news organization category, allowing only accredited organizations to post news articles.
Decorporatize social media, making it a nonprofit, ad-free platform hosted on publicly owned servers.
Fund the platform through a small monthly fee from each household.
