Nobody is forcing us to read the news, participate in social media etc. We can pick and choose what news to consume and from where (yeah, most news sites are crap, I get that). There is no way these sites are gonna police themselves and there is no way for us to expect the govt to control them. There is just too much ad money and too much access to data, they are not going to give that up. But there is an easy solution to this. Just refuse to participate and consume only the absolute bare minimum news, social media etc. Social media is not email or SMS, they are not necessary for daily life. One can easily live without Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc (and many do), unlike say GMail.
