Well, I agree politicians find it annoying that a company can mass manipulate their constituents. However, they are perfectly fine if that same platform lets THEM mass manipulate their constituents. This isn't about manipulation, it is about control and power. I think people would hate an internet without 230. Everyone is just acting like a kid tattling in kindergarten to get their way. The thing that gets lost is that Hatebook, etc. are mass manipulating because it is insanely profitable. Make it less profitable and the algorithm will change. This is why I feel the solution is a tax on digital advertising revenue. People will never choose paid over free w/ ads at scale and rules like this could offer users a more pragmatic choice.
