Rawls Test for Social Media

Apply the veil‑of‑ignorance to today’s platforms: would we choose the current social‑media system if we didn’t know whether we’d be an influencer, an average user, or someone harmed by algorithmic effects? Pair this with a Luck‑vs‑Effort lens that treats platform success as largely luck‑driven, implying different justice claims than effort‑based economies. — This reframes platform policy from speech or innovation fights to a fairness test that can guide regulation and harm‑reduction when causal evidence is contested.
