The social media giant "routinely continued to collect" children's personal information, including their locations and email addresses, without parental permission, in violation of a federal children's privacy law, according to the court filing
Yeah, but the meaning of the word doesn’t fit reality: true aristocracy (as in, the people governing TRULY being the best ones, without a doubt) would pretty much just be democracy without demagogues, spin doctors and other forms of corruption of the process…
Oh. Isn’t that what got the world to where it is now? How would you keep certain martins from overthrowing legally elected governments anywhere near center, let alone left?

You know, the things that convince regular people to vote against their own best interests aka for right wing and centrist frauds.
As for how to remove those destructive elements, I’m thinking publicly funded (as in zero private money allowed, not even self-funding) ranked choice elections with a shitload of mandatory independent fact checking and robust enforcement of all election laws and regulations.
Goes without saying that all laws giving one or both establishment parties an inherent advantage over the other or “third” parties would need to be scrapped too.
A whole mess of redistricting would be necessary too, of course.
I’m not saying it would be easy or even POSSIBLE to achieve, just answering your question 🤷
