Ravi's takes on social media are very stupid and thoroughly out of touch with reality (unsurprising as he essentially parrots out of touch takes).

He suggests strong rate limits for fairly mundane things based on how a "typical user might use a site" on the basis that a *bad actor* might abuse a bit of functionality. This ignores though that there are *power users* who might make use of site functionality far more and there are *casuals*. It can even curtail the capacity of someone to block someone. This is how it pans out in practice. In reality, platforms have never provided unrestricted endpoints.

Ravi inadvertently suggests prohibiting fake porn and only allowing porn of real people to be posted. Clearly failing Welcome to the Internet 101. Curiously, he also presumes that content is always shared in a *broadcast* fashion, rather than casually with some friends (which is fairly common). He also demands a "fully moderated" social network where every post is carefully scrutinized by a company prior to being posted (impossible and harmful).

I wanted to take the time to cover this guy, because there is a small subset of out of touch people who like to "brainstorm" some really stupid ideas (completely out of touch with the real world), then talk as if they are "practical" things to do. People like this waste mental bandwidth from more serious discourse.
