one needs a commercial motive to make it interesting to solve. Without this, it's a fun problem to work on but not one that gets built and maintained, which is the realm of the "real" we see.
I foresee challenges getting a revenue stream out of old inactive accounts w/o minimally stealing their IP
look I'm not saying any of this is good, it's just what commercial models do. Come to think of it....could be interesting if there was a special rule like, "copyrights to social content expire 6 mo. postmortem" rather than the onerous Mickey rule
prolly someone will come up with something ghastly and weird, like "train a ChatGPT doppelganger as your late father" or something. Capitalism can get creative
"Your father can tweet FOREVER subject to the terms and conditions of the OpenAI end user agreement. But the bad news is that his takes on modern culture aren't going to get any better"
I bet this is already being worked on as we speak, and that's not really fulfilling the same purpose, but whatever. People will buy what people buy, I guess.
the awfulness of this idea is that it doesn't require anybody to buy anything. If they did this without ppl paying, it would generate more content, engagement, and controversy no additional money needed. Minutes on platform = ad engagements = $

If you add in stuff like "right to be forgotten", things get even more complicated.
Perhaps it will never be solved within a platform, because of those commercial pressures.
