Public Mod accounts for social media, maybe even the internet?

Everyone knows the issues facing Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter about the need and problems in how they regulate content.

An idea that keeps coming up is this concept where anyone can become a moderator which others can follow. This means that anything this moderator tags inappropriate won’t show up in the feeds of those that follow the moderator.

How this might work would be moderator accounts that have a profile with an about section stating the parameters for what they filter. People can opt in or out to following these moderators. You can follow multiple moderators, and choose which ones are locked with a password for a minors account. These moderator accounts can even add other moderators to help out with the account. So there can can be thousands of people that opt in and get accepted to filter out “hate speech” or some other topic.

This will dispel any claims that regulations aren’t fair, because each individual in the public gets to choose who they wish to follow. It will also be visible how many people follow a particular moderator account so content creators know how to position themselves.

Any abuse on the moderators part will have people opt out and follow a different moderator. This is because at the end of the day people are hungry for content so moderators need to be careful that they only filter what they say they will.
