Regulation priorities:
1. Organized disinfo like this https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/11/qanon-facebook-groups-growing-conspiracy-theory https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/11/qanon-facebo...

3. Facebook
4. Scam robocallers
5. Microsoft forcing Teams, Edge, and dozens of other apps on users by installing them with Windows security updates
- shadowgovt 6y agoIt's a little disquieting that our first priority for (public) regulation is "The First Amendment has failed as a construct; let's prevent people from sharing information in public fora that we know is false." I'd hazard that if that's where we're starting from, we won't end at a good place trying to use the force of public regulation to solve these problems. :(
