I mean, I don't even think it's a matter of privacy, and moreso a matter of spreading out the amount of influence that one person can have as a whole on a public platform. If it's more spread out, there is less direct control that billionaires and corpos will have on these platforms that have basically become very important in terms of public discourse and public opinion.
