Forbid (personally) targetted advertising and half job is done. Suddenly user data lose a lots if value and most dark patterns are centered around the gold that is the data. That said algo should be forbidden too, I agree with you. Or at last opt-in with warning like the ones on cigarettes (algorithms cause harm to your brain).
Just like here. There no hidden algorithms to hook people up. It’s just content you follow or what’s new or upvoted. It doesn’t analyze what I do to try to push stuff for me
The most effective measure is to forbid “algorithms” to show content

So, something more akin to how forum boards did it?
