“One idea is to empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 849

The chapter notes that Section 230 itself codifies user control as an express policy goal and encourages platforms to provide tools empowering users to do their own content moderation. It also asks the agency to work with Congress on stronger protections against young children accessing social media despite age restrictions.

One idea is to let users pick their own filters. They could pick their own fact checkers too.

What this is about

Platforms decide what to hide or label. The book says users could choose instead. They would pick their own filters.
