Forcing people to sell their data to corporate commanders is not the way to solve the issue. I sympathize with the idea, but I am against proposed solution.

Ironically, you change that to "free speech uttered, first though expressed, first freedom exercised" and it will haunt you on social media forever. Freedom without accountability is Anarchy; and we've somehow both eliminated it AND made it inescapable. A prison forged of the thoughts of a billion unfiltered minds.
