Perhaps a government backed startup with Constitutional protections cemented into the core mantra of the site/tech. An open source gathering of American voices to help shape public opinion of actual citizens. Have some grant money that subsidizes the tech industry rolled over into the project. If it were a government 'utility' that was forever guaranteed to be open to all and 1st Ammendment protection oriented, we could form a social that is constantly evolving with our nation and controlled by We the People by involvement and accountability. Idk if such a program could exist free from tampering and/or corruption by outside players but it's a possible solution to work around the private business aspect. Just my thoughts. I love VOAT though so it would need to model some of what's going on here.
