How would you write that law?

So now every social network charges $0.01 per month and makes all the rest of their revenue through advertising.

Would you set the minimum price for every service and outlaw advertising entirely?



The solution is probably not to require them to be paid but to make that a natural consequence.

For example,

1) disallow double-sided marketplace where primary users are monetised to a third party, or

2) require open API and interoperability, allowing users to switch providers easily, mobile phone style.
