i'd like to add stronger press regulations into the mix. fox news, oann, newsmax etc. have all played their part in broadcasting fascist enabling bullshit with absolutely zero accountability. freedom of the press needs to come with a stronger definition of what constitutes "press" and by extension, what qualifies as "news".
I can see that there are a lot of social, political and racial factors driving all of this, but we need to acknowledge that none of this would be possible without the unregulated environment of social media. Social media is the problem in our society IMO. Trump would not have been elected without it, he wouldn’t be able to orchestrate an attempted coup without it and that mob wouldn’t be able to organise without it.
It would be a net positive to ban unregulated social media. I don’t buy that it can be regulated. Ergo: end social media. Pls.
