What a Better Social Network Would Look Like

• Make social networks nonprofits
• Ban algorithmic amplification
• Restrict personal data collection and behavioral advertising
• Let a field of smaller social networks bloom
• Stop putting white men in charge

New Age Social Media - My Perspective
Social media has to be more realistic to reflect on our life. Our daily thoughts only our first level circle immediate relationships need to know. Our social thoughts or tagged social should be reflected in the second-level circle. About education, professional it needs to reflect in the connected circles
Everything needs to be within the limits to avoid information overload. Today data is business and connections are the business value of the individual. In the long run, both businesses and consumers will lose value. Companies focused on rapid market share without ethical values will end up creating zombies than responsible citizens.
