Thank you for the question. This question really emphasizes the need for us to adopt a multipronged approach.
Absolutely, we should have these friction mechanisms and force big tech platforms to put these friction mechanisms in place. These friction mechanisms can even work, to a limited extent, in private encrypted chat apps. For example, WhatsApp has a limit on the number of people you can forward content to. That, in and of itself, slows down the spread of potentially harmful content or disinformation.
That said, some technological solutions will likely be more effective in public, open platforms than they will be in private. This is why there's also the need for a legal regulatory framework that considers differential harms and impacts. However, there's also a need for bottom-up engagement in which we are teaching individual users, at a very individual level, the basics of AI and digital literacy and, hopefully, contributing to the long-form durable information literacy, which are those critical reasoning and critical thinking skills that we all need to use, as individual users, in this digital world.
