This is such a straw man. You’re really comparing physical newspapers to Facebook? Even my boomer parents let their physical subscription go.

- woodruffw 5y agoA "straw man" is an intentionally weak opponent in an argument. I don't think I've done that (where, in this thread, would I have the occasion to?) I'm not comparing physical newspapers to Facebook. The Internet has obviously won. What I've said is that governments of all levels should not be allowed to solely distribute important public information solely via private platforms. A newspaper was just an obvious example, one that already has a legal precedent.
