So one idea is called social portability. It’s like giving the freedom of movements between one social media to another. That in fact is already a law in Utah, called the Digital Choices Act. Governor Cox signed that law, which is endorsed by both parties, which means starting next July, if you are a Utah citizen and you don’t like the way, for example, TikTok, works, and you want to switch to something else, then the new network will be able to receive all your existing followers or your existing friends, the new likes, reactions, content, and whatever. It’s just like when you switch from one telecom to the other, you get to keep your number.
