> How can the public form an opinion if the information they get about it is skewed by the affected companies? When Trump was in power, you had the right wanting to regulate Reddit/Twitter, and the left wanting to regulate Facebook. I don't think the companies are successfully skewing people in their favor of not being regulated. Big tech are a necessary evil for most people. Philip Morris' customers don't talk about it being a great company, they just need its product. People blame big tech a lot though, but what if they did give people visibility and control of their algorithms in terms of what content they want...and if we had more competition...would there be less extremism, or would people just up their own dosage? In the end it will come down to personal responsibility and education.
