SIR YES SIR! HOW TO REIN IN THE TECHNOCRAT MEDIA COMPLEX:
Attack tech market monopolies using antitrust laws to break up vertical markets and media consolidation.
Fix patent law to eliminate various types of competition-stifling abuse
Scale back copyright monopoly to its original 20-year term.
Enforce in-kind donations election laws on large commercial social media platforms who police content.
Ban federal subsidies, tax incentives, and contracts from corporations with ownership of platforms that behave against the principle of free speech.
Drastically reduce H1b visas
Recognize the inherent stewardship responsibilities of corporate entities engaged in computation using private data, including creating liabilities upon institutions that collect, retain, or sell data beyond that which is directly necessary to run their service.
Recognize personal tracked data as an owned asset belonging to individuals, and require those that profit from voluntarily tracked data to share generated profits with the persons who opt in to sharing.
Use infrastructure already in place for spying on citizens to instead provide a ‘public option’ for hosting and bandwith option, so everyone can publish.
Adapt laws that require businesses to share data with government institutions to require the same sharing for individuals to give people the opportunity to ‘exploit’ their own collected data.
Not a bad idea, especially for things like airport/public surveillance auto-police dispatch ‘suspicious behavior’ algorithms, or justice system ‘reoffender risk’ algorithms.
One problem you’ll run into is that most ‘algorithmic decisionmaking’ isn’t performed using a discrete algorithm, but is a ‘trained’ model based off various ‘machine learning’ processes like bayesian filtering applied to huge datasets, essentially a ‘black box’ that is indecipherable and incomprehensible for humans.
Most people think of algorithms like an algebraic formula where various factors can be included or excluded, or made more or less important. The actual ‘formula’ would look like a multilayered graph with trillions of connected lines, each of which is individually weighted based on trillions of trial and error simulations that are not made from any comprehension or reasoned logic.
It would be like asking a dog handler to show how the dog smells the drugs. No one can tell you. They can describe the training, or some science about smell, but they can’t explain it, they can only demonstrate that it delivers measurable outcomes.
Then you get into Heisenberg uncertainty principle territory, where you are forced to ask how is the outcome measurement defining the very meaning of ‘fact’ being measured, and left with no possible way to get an answer.
Scale back copyright monopoly to its original 20-year term.
I'd love to see this, so much cultural content is being lost because the owners don't want to distribute it and nobody else can legally. Imagine what Project Gutenberg would look like with 20y copyright, amazing.
It's all a delaying action now. As they retreat, they're setting up obstacles, land mines, and blowing up bridges along our axis of attack.
Engineers forward!

Incentivize ’small-scale’ startups and services
I also want to add to make their algorithms public so that independent researchers can verify any biases.

Lot easier to just hang the 1M most prominent marxists. Give it a year then hang the next 100k who are still most vocal in that period
Find your nearest Soros puppet and tell them how you feel.
When they die of natural causes, listen to who cries the loudest and tell them how sorry you are for their loss.
Then find who cries for them.
tldr but i have a gun and i trust trump. can i come?

That whole copyright forever BS is just that.

BANGALORE IN THE HOLE!!!
The democrats are going to go scorched earth
Once we get onto the open plains, we'll release the Cossacks!
