Honestly the more I see social media, the more I think this isn't just a good move in retribution for their election interference, it's a good move for the health of the nation. Social media is the most destructive force to hit a civilization since the Romans started using lead pipes. I'm not a fan of regulating them out of business on general principle, but something needs to give.
Yeah social media is a destructive force on society, even before we get into the behavioral control they try to exert.
But if it’s going to exist, we must not continue to give them any protections. We don’t even need to regulate social media. Just don’t give them anything. They can either allow everything, and if anyone violates the law in their site it’s that individual who is responsible, or they can censor/edit whatever they want, but are fully open to any lawsuit.
