I mean that the social media platform has to be explicit about what they allow. It doesn't matter what social media platform wants to allow (provided it is legal) so long as they tell their users what it is. > Finally, we have to define if something is contrary to the interests of users, meaning we have to define the interests of users... holy cow. IANAL, but it seems to me this kind of thing already comes up all the time in things like contract law, employement law, unfair business practices, etc. > I think less is more in this case. There are enough social media sites out there that you can dial in pretty exactly what you want to see, no matter your persuasion. I agree. What I am proposing requires no new legislation, and merely requires us to enforce existing legislation more or less as it is written. |
