Thoughts on what becomes of Social Media, post-OP America

I was thinking about Facebook and the whole selling of people's data & image and what the cyber aftermath will be like once Silicon Valley is dismantled for what it is. Perhaps it's unnecessary to do away with their framework.

Let's consider user data. Perhaps ultimately the only things wrong with the way it's handled is compensation & transparency. Until greedy Advertising is socially scrutinized & rebuilt, advertising remains a powerful money engine for the US. What if Facebook, or something of the kind, were nationalised and something akin to the Citizen Score thing China has were the new ID. The kick is to pay all people a dividend of profits made from individuals, their image & data, and something that could be the basis of a basic income.

The first tight spot comes in consideration of the degree & demand of reach into people's lives in regards to this profile to be compensated. The second comes in consideration of what exactly are we to compensate? A blanket stipend just takes all the fun out of it (and predisposes people to social irresponsibility i.e. Dem Welfare programs), if we are to make something more engaging & inviting than China's biased Citizen Score.

Here are my current thoughts:

• definitely get paid for the selling of your image & collected data, that is amassed in the fashion they do things now. I def don't feel the wrongness of selling people, as long as you really make sure they understand, you make fully available all transaction data including WHO the buyers are (if data-buyers don't like it, I don't give a shit, they're prob the type of parasites who currently abuse this data). If your posted pictures are used in public ads (like Google does), you'd be eligible for royalties. If your packaged data is sold for analytics, like 80% of everyone does to some degree now, you'd get a cut from every sale.

• The Citizen aspect would be based off the law & the public profile of the ID system. To whatever degree your profile reflects your doings determines the variables going towards payout.

• If it's decided that ALL of your life is to be fully public as part of the ID system, then no sort of penalizations can be made in respect to bad choices (or unfortunate circumstances of the now available past) save they harmed anyone else intentionally without just cause. Legal window would be left open for the govt to prosecute any connected, or revealed to be/have been connected, to any entity/agent currently under investigation/prosecution. In the same respect as above, any aspect of identity must not be penalized in any fashion, said penal action reserved for those who behave in belligerent, intentionally nasty or aggressive, or violent towards anyone because of their identity. On the same note, there cannot be penalty for any public criticisms that are tempered with compassion.

• I wonder if after a few months of full public disclosure of everyone's full history, all people's treatment & considerations of each other would be utterly altered. In this, I have a feeling compassion & community would have an explosive rise.

• One thing scares me: WHO gets to determine the final rules for the citizen aspect by which to determine which behaviors merit sweet monies?

• Since this Neo-Facebook ID would be a national/public entity, a new public office would open, a President selected in the same fashion as the regular elections, except candidates would have to have an internet public presence for ex the varied YouTube personalities. Debates would easily be skyped public livestreams, open public comment sections & dynamic voting available (dynamic meaning one debate would bring up a variety of vote propositions throughout the debate, perhaps based upon blockchain to help insulate against any voting fraud), all maintained fully open source on public record & permanently archived in the Library of Congress. The system can at least start out fully Democratic to see how it goes.

American powers should work for American benefit. Would love to hear your thoughts on what came to my mind
