I think I agree with most of these platforms being treated as common carriers, but they definitely need to control the bots and foreign influence. People (actual real people) should be able to have some anonymous identities, but there should be some limitations on that.

Indeed. I ran out of room to say it more powerfully, but the foreign influence via bot farms MUST be checked.

Hard to level the playing field when it’s been bulldozed with bullshit.

The fracturing on the mediasphere demands a serious refraction from “viewers like you “ and me.

A look within before a look around with fresh curious eyes.

The comm acts of 34,and 96 need a fresh look but (and I know this seems radical) so does the first amendment.

Free speech is not the same as amplified speech specifically done for a profit. It’s a different animal dressed up in familiar old clothing.

Totally agree Jon. Zuckerberg is one of the worst with all the AI lies “sponsored” on Reels.
