Good day, I just read your blurb about web without cookies and would like to get your thoughts on a way to protect privacy while keeping cookies in place and without censoring publishers. Big Tech and social media are built on "A.I.": not "artificial intelligence" but "advertising inventory". According to the cliche, "if you're not paying for the product, then you are the product." By this reasoning, the general public is subsidizing Big Tech and social media through creation and use of user profiles. Solution: amend section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to provide that a platform is not liable for the content on its platform if the platform does not seek, accept, place or facilitate the placement of advertising or sponsorships, and the only revenue it accepts is revenue from individual subscriptions. With this approach, publishers are free to publish whatever content they choose -- noxious or otherwise -- but they no longer have the content paid for by advertisers unless the publisher takes responsibility for the content. Your thought?
