We've always had the major media organisations editorializing and deciding what's "front page news" and what isn't. Social media platforms do the same: they already decide what's on the front-page on in your timeline and what's not. I don't want to be rude, but have you even read the article? Because you're not engaging with the actual content at all and I found it considerably more nuanced and thoughtful that it's being given credit for.

Nuance? You are in the weeds. It is so far from nuanced that it's laughable: "With that power comes accountability, and in democracies like ours, at least, the need for some democratic oversight." "...these big platforms need to be subject to some level of public oversight and regulation." "...we have a long history of regulating new technologies in the name of public safety..." "A regulatory structure, a smart one, needs to be in place... regulation has to be part of the answer." "...regulation... will make democracy stronger"
