> "Regulating Facebook will be one of the greatest challenges in human history"
Somehow, I don't think that regulating a single company (or even an entire industry) compares with challenges like:
- Landing the first humans on the moon
- Defeating Nazi Germany and its allies in World War II and rebuilding Europe in the aftermath of the war
- Eradicating infectious diseases like smallpox, etc.
- Enacting civil rights legislation in the U.S.
- Toppling Apartheid in South Africa
The EU has already made progress in regulating the advertising/surveillance industry by enacting GDPR. If the U.S. summons up the political will to enact a similar law, Facebook will have been substantially reined in.
