The really sad part is that go-nowhere do-nothing legislation like this sucks the air out of the room for real concern over Facebook. American citizens desperately need data privacy laws and assurances that prevents unjust data collection and profiling from companies like Facebook. The news regulation angle is a manipulation of outrage that worse yet gives Facebook the exact "free ride" they want. It's such an insidious diversion you'd think Mark Zuckerberg planned it himself. Nonsense appeals like this one really makes you wonder what it's like for Rupert Murdoch et. al these days. Your penthouse is nice, but something feels off. Nobody is talking to you, the TV is on but nobody's watching. A press event happens at the White House, and your daughter reads it to you from her phone before you even see it hit the Fox ticker reel. Something inside such a man must snap, watching the concept of 'news' obsolete itself before his very eyes. For someone who's namesake is built on traditional media, it would probably feel like watching yourself die. He stumbles away to fetch the vinyl for Komm, süßer Tod and sits listening with his hands folded until he can find a way to make it all work out. On the bright side, the cries from traditional media have garnered about as much credibility as Craig Wright running up a bar tab. Hopefully the commercial nature of either side helps to paint their true intentions.
