> Targeted ads and recommendation engines need to be banned.
I don't see how you can "ban ads" without instituting totalitarian dictatorship.
Targeted arguments are a core part of political campaigning and polarization has been increasing in the US for decades, even before the internet.
My pet solution would to switch to a multi-party system that isolates rather than amplifies fringe voices. In germany people can look at what AfD and Die Linke have to say without having to choose between them.
