A simple fix: adopt the EU Digital Markets Act approach— portability between instant‑messaging systems. The EU already has this. The State of Utah went further: starting next July , when you switch from TikTok to Instagram or from Twitter to Bluesky, the old network is mandated to keep forwarding new likes, replies, reactions, and content to your new network— social portability , like number portability. It’s a consumer‑choice act. Not nationalizing big tech—just removing the network‑effect lock‑in .
