When I was younger, I thought the US needed a sort of “User Interface Administration” to handle everything from social media to advertising to video games. Something to put a set of policies down for content algorithms (always default to chronological sort, never remember user preference to do otherwise) and end the scammy pay-5.99-to-skip-this-1-hour-timer game design.
I don’t believe the US is capable of this kind of policy. But if China did it, that would be so goddam cool.
I think this is indeed a thing that states that genuinely focus on the well being of the people should consider implementing. Something to set out a style guide for all government software and websites, and regulate user hostile design out of software made or distributed in the country (obviously, regulating appearance and such of UIs should be limited to preventing outright hostile designs, let the designers make their art, but government provided stuff should be cohesive and match each other aesthetically). We spend a lot of time staring at screens. Governments should be regulating away negative aspects of those experiences and tools for our physical and mental health that only exist because someone is getting rich by frustrating us or causing health harm through intentionally inefficient technology.
