You mean giving them exactly what they're after? https://mobile.twitter.com/kateo/status/1306071764741558275 https://mobile.twitter.com/kateo/status/1306071764741558275 (sorry for the source; couldn't get a digital version of the ad since they don't appear to serve it online) They've been buying full-page ads to this effect in the print edition of the Economist for years now. Given that they clearly believe that they'll be able to steer any such regulation into being a competitive advantage, I'd really rather explore other avenues. e: my personal nightmare is Facebook-as-regulated-utility: all of the evil the existing corporation exerts, plus no chance that it'll ever naturally go the way of myspace. I'm not ideologically opposed to all regulation ever anywhere, just deeply concerned that any regulation we see in this space will move us closer to that particular cyberpunk dystopia.
