And I bet we'd see a race to the bottom. It is very hard for anyone to understand whole range of implications, let alone unknown the future, and the incentives at the individual level and the collective level are not aligned (as is the case with many public goods).

See, that's another underexplored idea. Data collection, minimized to function, with hard-expiry attached. I can imagine a world in which even Facebook does versions of this, remains pretty wealth and with much less of the externalized harms. We are stuck in a narrow space.

I've argued for many years that broad data collection is fine if retention periods are brief and legally enforced. There's lots of cool stuff you can do with data if people have a credible guarantee that it won't exist beyond 30 days, that you can't do now for privacy reasons

For most of human history, governments were not able to perform investigations post-hoc targeted/criminal interest, and we lived mostly through ephemeral interaction with some exceptions. We might alter a bit of this, but the current maximal model isn't natural or even that old.

Without all the data collection and this kind of opaque micro-targeting targeting, you wouldn't need to investigate IRA like this. Whatever it tried to do would be a lot more visible *while* it was happening.
