Risks & Challenges
- Defining 'Politics': Users may argue over what constitutes a political post, requiring a strict, clear TOS.
- Ghost Town Effect: Social networks need a critical mass; early users may leave if the feed is too quiet.
- Moderation Overhead: Manual review of reported 'political' posts may become unscalable without automated AI filtering.
