I dislike spam as much as the next person, but the article makes some serious leaps. Demanding that the governments regulate hyperlinks while decrying "regulatory capture" feels like a non-sequitur. Moreover, it isn't immediately clear how vanity URLs or redirects are part of regulatory capture. However, it is easy to see how inviting regulation of hyperlinks could lead to regulatory capture.
- Sephr 3y agoI'm demanding that existing laws be enforced. Adtech has created a system that systemically enables normal fraud in the context of links. This is not a unique concept, nor does not require any new regulations or laws to address. Big Tech is deflecting blame by pretending that these problems (that they also made) cannot be solved. Government agencies believe these claims, which results in situations like the FBI asking you to install an adblocker.
