Publicly owned by which government? Because I don't think YouTube's home of the US is really a good choice right now.

I agree. I’m not thinking about USA at all.

As for the EU, we should fund a federated or decentralised system. I think it works well on Lemmy. For example I know not to trust feddit.org for anything related to Palestine. Content on other servers shows their pro-Israel bias.

I think a system like that could benefit the US to a point, at least until the government block all external news and commentary.

A centralized platform providing infrastructure could be financed using a tax on every internet subscription.

That's actually not a bad idea, but who would hold that money? Elon and Ron DeSantis showed that anyone can just waltz into a government office and steal all their money.
