Don’t use state media.
Exactly the opposite lesson to take. We need public social media, not corporate social media. We need rights and guarantees, not profit taking and psyops.
I think in 2025 the "rights and guarantees" you want aren't going to be provided by state or corporate social. Defederated / self hosted is the way.
Don't use state media controlled by a single megalomaniac man-child.
I would argue that no longer qualifies as state media.
It should be owned by the users and moderators, not the billionaires.
I like having a bunch of nonprofits because if one turns bad, I can switch. Your idea will work better if the state becomes controlled by the public.
States are never controlled by the public, or the working class, to be more precise.
States exists to protect the interest of oligarchs. Nothing more, nothing less.
Because the government of the US is very well known for letting dissenting voices have a soap box...
