Finally, I want to point out that the state of Utah just passed a law, effective next July, that allows any Utah citizen to migrate their social media accounts—from TikTok, for example—to other platforms like Threads or Bluesky, and TikTok must preserve all their original followers, content, and data. This is called the Digital Choice Act. Meta’s Threads already offers this kind of federated network, known as the “Fediverse.” If I post to the Fediverse from Threads, you can see it on Bluesky or other platforms without needing to log into Threads. This gives users a better choice in service quality, so they are not locked into a platform just because all their friends are there.
