Rush? Are you kidding? If anything our policymakers have been delayed, led around with blinders on, unawares to the issues arising from tech's influence on society, for a decade.
If you don't think that these social media tech companies have done something fundamentally changing to our society and political process, then you've got a head in the sand. And at some point, like corporate finance in elections, the situation could grow to where they cannot even control it any more, and are just pawns in a social media game.
I'm not saying that Washington policymakers will handle it right, and should go headlong into poorly thought out action. But the idea that we have been in a rush to do something too soon, and should wait and see some more to figure out what's happening -- that is a joke.
