As someone who doesn't use Facebook, Twitter, or their subsidiaries, the debate is kinda laughable. Sure break them up for antitrust. Write privacy regulation. But regulating the content shared there? If you don't like it, it's so easy to opt out, and it feels great. People write like these are utilities necessary for a good life, which sounds crazy from the outside.

Of course I don't consider myself insulated from these platforms.

> You do use them, even if you didn't sign up or agree to it, you do use their services. Your contact info is already there and every chance FB or whoever gets to learn something new about you, they take it.

That's what I mean by "Write privacy regulation." That's separate from the whole news/propaganda/content thing.

And the "first they came..." poem is a ridiculous comparison. I'm not laughing about the oppression of people who have beliefs or traits they stand up for. I'm laughing about people who don't like an unnecessary product but aren't willing to walk away.
