Regulation as the result of "bad stories" yeah let heysteria and sensationalism lead the way.
Facebook et al are not the source of all evil, they are actually a source of financial relief to most people, they are only a problem to media companies, and those who write books about how bad they are.
It's healthcare and housing costs that are the bane of everyday people, this media fabricated tech backlash is a strategic distraction.

That's literally how muckrakers during the Progressive Era alerted the public to the depredations of big business and forced government regulation of business practices to ensure competition and free enterprise. And how does any social media company provide "financial relief"?
- srkmno 8y ago> muckrakers during the Progressive Era So you're one of those. Were the "muckrakers" at the time in the same business as the companies they were raking muck at? Cause that sure is the case nowadays. > And how does any social media company provide "financial relief"? Zero dollar cost for communication, broadcasting, entertainment, information retrieval, etc while little else is free.
