That’s an abysmally bad idea. This would be a wet dream for companies like Meta.

Effectively that would lock in the monopoly by huge social media platforms and absolutely no one would be able to try and make alternatives.

That idea would raise the bar for entry into social media to such a degree that only establish platforms can maintain themselves.

Which would make things like Lemmy, anything on the fedaverse, any third-party or fledgling social media platform…etc defunct overnight. And the only options would be existing, abusive, monopolistic, corporate managed platforms.

Well yes of course but also restricting access to information machines doesn’t exactly help much either.

The line between medical advice and personal research is pretty freaking gray, so banning medical advice. Does that also ban talking to llms about anything that is medical adjacent?

Does medical adjacent mean personal disabilities? Drug related interests? Pet health? Stretches? Pain support?

Anything that falls under “Health, Wellness, and Fitness”?

…etc

It’s a slippery slope and we don’t need to be sliding down it

I always love it when folks who don’t actually know what they’re talking about, comment like they do…

It’s not just the browser. This example is the browser, but it’s your entire system stability that is affected by random bit flips.

Honestly yeah it’s 100% checks out.

I have device that has ECC ram and I can keep it online and applications running for well over 18 months with no stability issues.

However, both my work computers and my personal computer start to become unstable after about 15 to 20 days. And degrade over the course of 1 to 2 years (with a considerable increase in the number of corrupt system files)

Firefox and chrome start to become unstable after usually a week if they have really high memory usage.

That’s literally not possible.

I’m not talking about from a practical standpoint I’m talking about from a theoretical standpoint.

Given that social media being a form of media where humans socialize with each other is not something that can be banned because humans are intrinsically social creatures and modern technology facilities media based communication.

What we don’t need is social media banned. We need regulation and enforcement and teeth for those regulations.

Almost all of the bad and negative parts of social media are results of companies driving profits and engagement at the cost of everything else, including the well-being of their users (Such as artificially, inflating, negativity and division because that drives more engagement).
