Is it just me, or does it seem like, with both social media and “tech” in general, that the ‘regulation axe’ is grinding - and that it is only a matter of time

Is it just me, or does it seem like, with both social media and “tech” in general, that the ‘regulation axe’ is grinding - and that it is only a matter of time that these algorithms core to these companies’ business models ‘suffer’ from likely blunt, harsh regulatory instruments that will broadly stop this kind of influence and manipulation.
By doing so, it will also significantly harm these business models (and valuations) as we know it today.
- high_5 6y agoIndeed! Social media amplified vaxxers, climate change deniers and all the possible fringe lunatics you can find. The social media should be much limited by the physical aspect, for example, if you never met the person in a real-life event, you can't connect with it via social media. Throw out the news feeds. Throw out the ads alltogether (because political propagandists will always find a way if you want to make the distinction).
- Nasrudith 6y agoOh there are always idiots trying to demand that cars be disassembled and tossed in the underbrush if they frighten horses. What those grandstanding demagogue idiots want is about as relevant as all of the other non Section 320 parts of the CDA that got thrown out by the courts.
