- winternett 4y agoGovernment regulation spans further than just rules engineered by a few politicians, it can be publicly voted upon, and it can dictate minimum standards that are upheld across private business for everyone's safety, which in this case is highly warranted. It's the best chance we have to stop this horrible trend. Companies have shown repeatedly that they are not trust-worthy nor responsible enough to self regulate.

Regulating public forums for their content outside of illegal content has never been not abused. The UK is learning this the hard way with the police "checking the thinking" of netizens. If you think companies are bad, then imagine politicians. I can switch off to another social media but I can't switch out to another state.
