It's not that complicated, when you incite violent insurrection against the government and people follow through with it, you get shut down. It's not like any of these platforms had a choice given Trump's violent rhetoric and history of lying.

"Differences in health and illness are influenced by individual genetic and physiological constitutions"

This is true.

It would seem like a reasonable solution and compromise would be to list the innate genetic and physiological conditions which might affect a person's development. This could include information related to their sex-chromosomes as well as other markers which could be useful like deficiencies and allergies.

There's no need to make them mandatory, most people already have cameras and microphones in their homes, schools and workplaces that the government can access. This is more about getting access to the social graph.

This is so true. A mentor of mine has been developing a new cancer therapy with a physicist for over a decade. He's spent millions of dollars and all he has to show for it at this point is a machine for rats that can kill cancer better than the standard of care, for rats. He's building a machine for humans now but by the time he's done he'll have probably invested close to $10M all by himself just to have a single proof of concept that he can take to market. That's an insane amount of investment until as you said, you even get to the point where you can get real feedback on the business model. Ultimately though he understood the fundamental physics and knew that it would work just as well as anyone could.
