Opt-IN, No Ads, and No Tracking Solve a Lot of Problems in Society

Pure clickbait title.

“Stuff in my timeline that I don’t want to see” is an annoyance, not a societal problem. Privacy is a significant problem, but nothing in the write up says how fixing it on one platform can solve “a lot” of other problems in society.

Just say that your platform enforces privacy and is designed to be a social good rather than an addictive attention sink. Those are good things, and given time and mindshare could help to fix some of the nastiness that social media has fostered. But it ain’t gonna stop pollution, or address income inequality, or American health care, or any of the problems that I’d class as societal.

It does solve the problems by getting rid of these websites. No ads or tracking means that the site isn't going to be making much money. Contextual ads will only ever work for a small amount of companies, because it takes too much effort for a company to approach hundreds of websites to work out deals about it.
