As for 'net connected junk broadcasting your data-you don't own it so why is it in your house spying on you?!
At one stage in the evolution of the U.S. Patent and copyright made sense. The advantages of them have been reduced by politics and technology to the point where they actually da mage the U.S. and it's citizens. When products were for physical devices they made sense, but today parents are for methods and ideas (SW). While the Supreme Court has made some good fillings in the area patents simply are no longer useful! Likewise Copyright has bloated to the point it's detremental. With the advent of anti circumve nation the doctrine of first sale is dead and you can no longer own what you buy. Not only does your nifty new refrigerator broadcast private information to everyone in 6 years or less you will have to buy an upgrade as repair will no longer be available (my old dumb refrigerator still works after 30+ years and I can get it fixed). Further copyright of scientific articles is paid for (either the research/publican, or both) with public funds the access to these publications costs $ billions a year and is paid for with public funds.
There are other examples. Simply throw out Parents and Coyright!
The real problem is not that YouTube is too big to fix, but rather that the Human race is too large to moderate.

I agree. The examples in China, Russa, ... If using circumlocution, alternate ids, etc. are some of the reasons that the task is not possible! If a human can't do it a computer can't either!
3rd party moderation might prove feasible but it seems unlikely. Some of these companies are simply do large that they have become defacto public platforms.
I agre! One enduring test of suitability is when " just use your judgement " enters the job it can't be automated. This has held up sense the late '50s and still holds up today!
I do disagree as some of the forms are so large that they have become a kin to what the the public parks once were. Either you speak on them or you are not heard!
Unfortunately a few huge Platforms have become so dominant that considering them public platforms makes sense. Prager's remarks are not silly but not entirely off just like the recent Supreme Court hair splitting mistake.
AT&T has repeatedly scaled the American people through Congressional greed! Fiber back haul is what makes cell (including 5g) work. If AT&T really made hard promises to get the tax breaks then they should be defended and penalties applied. But doesn't look like they did anything but pay off Congress! Should we penalize AT&T- maybe. Should we penalize the dishonest Congress-defanitely! A start is Congressional term limits, limit lobying, and apply limits to staff. A better approach would be to limit voting to those who understand the issues; good luck!

Obtaining evidence of backdoors is nearly impossible
It would require design documents for the SW&HW which are not forth coming! A detailed examination of recompiled code would typically require hundreds of man years by specialized (unstable readly) analysts and would likely price inconclusive. The U.S. VISa operations in this area were revealed by a leak and are still ongoing. DJIs answer to keep our zones for their drones was enabling code in most drones that sends an I'd and location to their servers in China (likely elsewhere as well) and then sending back a code that would take over the drone and prevent intrusion! This inadvertent revelation of malign code probably didn't lead to Huawei's unmasking- almost certainly it was a human leak.
I realize that pricing a negative is impossible but Huawei didn't make even a real gesture. Possibly as it would reveal the extent their phones and tablets snoop on users!
Today schools fail in their primary duty-to produce a reasonably well rounded citizen who can successfully support themselves. Implied in the US Constitution is that each person is responsible for their own life and wellfare. This includes being armed and if necessary shooting bullies. Over protection leads to a needy population out of touch with reality. The Green New Deal is an example.
The only way to prevent abuse of shopping and false data is to prohibit its collection and disemation. California has taken a start in banning facial recognition, because of its inaccuracy. It isn't good enough of one person is saved at the cost of another person's life being destroyed!
"...clearly a company can set in place a policy that works that says "stop just the assholes I don't like."". Illustrates why content moderation is not Only impossible but undesirable ! After all hate speech is speech I hate!
Banning most content moderation is necessary for the 'net to continue to be useful and used.
Pai is a symptom of congressional greed and incompetence
The DVD is a compromise kludge. The Congress critters were afraid that any meaningful regulation of communications will be used to unfairly disadvantage them. They are right but it matters not whether the regulation is managed e.g. the FCC or the old unregulated internet. The Committee part of the DVD insures that unless Congress does its job the DVD is a guaranteed failure!
The answer is to kick out the 'good ok boyes' and implement congressional term limits and restrict idiots from voting. Much easier said than done!
There have been numerous studies and examples of the failure of moderation. I can characterize me as a bit as hate speach! It's not really but it's a good example of why moderation is a big waste of time. We can all agree on definition of SPAM. So eliminating that may be feasable. As for "filled with junk" ones junk may be someone's revelation and we have to wade through junk in any case!
The reality is that the only possible moderation is no moderation! It's impossible to define hate speech, PORN (the Supreme Court failed), .... The attempt to get a nonpartisan organization resulted in the mess that is the FCC, real success!
Basically content moderation is required by a bunch of bad laws which are either anti American companies (EU "snippet tax") or nasty censorship laws like China and Miramar. These governments have been playing whack a mile with covert commentary for years with no great success, but they have silenced most of the opposition. Reasonable (GOOD) content moderation has been proved not only impossible but determental.
I don't understand the fixation with DSL! It was a dumb idea, quick fix, technology that started out broken and got worse. It can't be upgraded except by replacement with good tech.
It has become obvious to the trivial observer that non-adversiarial moderation is inherently unfair. Applying due process simply makes things less fair-anyone who has felt with or is aware of courts should realize this. All that it does is make things expensive and so slow as to not matter. Consider a takedown that takes 90 days-that's no takedown!
So long as we have vague terms:
HATE Speech dfn: Speech which I hate!
fair content moderation is impossible. Further given that:
Defamation dfn: is any thing that I feel may be harmful to me,
There is no way to fix the problem except-
BAN ALL CONTENT MODERATION!
The real problem wasn't southern modernization it was northern mills wanted cheap cotton! They didn't want to compete with English mills and didn't want to let southerners establish their own. They couldn't get export tactics so they went the indirect route. The Civak Was wasn't about slavery (The Boston shipping families were major importers) but southErners greed!
