True.

In the US, it isn't just about social media being vicious. It is, more than that, how it became a plutocracy that controls the government and congress.

And is a plague that the rest of the world is just catching up to. It isn't just the European Union that wants to regulate it. India's government, Brazil's supreme court, Australia, ...

The American Dream is all about money. Any society which enshrines money as its holy grail for people is bound to end up where America is today.

Wow, a True Believer gold bug...


I do not think that is a purely American problem by a long way.

Ultimately these regulations will be twisted to serve the same people. We have seen this with the UK's online safety act, it looks like EU law is going the same way.
