   Now, I certainly don't have a proposed one right answer to what a social media platform should be doing to solve all of these ensuing problems, and I certainly hope nobody thought I did.

   But what I do have to propose is a set of attitudes and approaches to building out a social media platform to try to avoid some of the bad outcomes that other platforms have experienced.

   My biggest point here is to simply not have a kind of foolish hubris of thinking that because something hasn't been a problem *so far*, that it's been solved.

   As with so many things, I think it helps enormously to look into the history of previous attempts to get advanced warning of the circumstances one may find oneself in. And, of course in the case of social media, by "may" I mean "almost certainly will".

   There are things that most definitely do not need to be surprises anymore.
