I was trying to come up with a solution. Something like retroactively classify companies that are taking money or are involved in this type of stuff register as a Political Action Committee. Because this is regulated by the FEC. Make Google, CNN, Facebook, Fox, whatever, disclose they are working for hire to politicize your experience. Then, make it so that every 5 years a company can appeal this retro-active PAC status. When they appeal they have to show, in full transparency, that they are no longer participating in these schemes by showing internal procedures, logs, their appeal process, and comments from the public. Somebody make this idea better and help promote it. It's a start
- taurath 9y agoI’ve always thought that a way to get this passed would be to tell the public that you’d be effecting whichever the other sides media is. For conservatives that’d be restricting cnn, msnbc, etc and for liberals that’d be Fox News brietbart etc. People hate the other side more than they love their side I find.

- droidist2 9y ago> People hate the other side more than they love their side I find. I think that's true, especially because often their views aren't very well reflected by "their side's" pundits, it's just the lesser of two evils.
- jessaustin 9y agoThis message would not appeal to conservatives, mostly because they would not believe it. All of the narratives about the speech restrictions that replay over and over in their "bubble": Fairness Doctrine, Citizens United, campus speech codes, etc., are about limitations to conservative speech.
