This is actually quite an interesting thing to think about. The fact that every single major internet site is American causes this, they believe they ARE the center of the world and that it should just be a given that everyone in the world use their platforms to communicate.
In my opinion these global platforms need control to be given to a non-nation entity to avoid this. I would much prefer to see Meta and Twitter and other platforms that have become critical to global communication under the control of the UN.
It has a lot to be desired but short of constructing something entirely new it's what we have. The idea of it is great but it needs to be given more power and vetos should be taken away.
Agreed. I’d also like to see some sort of system to give countries with higher population a bigger say, but I don’t know how to strike that balance because you don’t want the huge countries just completely overshadowing the tiny ones, but also China should definitely have more say in things than Luxembourg
I don't know if you would get participation out of all of them if they weren't all equal. Of course they're not all equal because of the veto but you get the point. A nation is a nation and one nation gets the say of one nation.
What your envisaging is more of a international people's congress. This would be representative of people rather than nations and I totally agree with aiming to achieve that. It is what I imagine would occur after achieving global socialism, organisations imagined around states and nations would give way to organisations built instead for the international people.

I don’t even like the UN very much but I 100% agree
