Social medias prime feature is broadcast capability. For free.

In other forms of media (books, newspapers, radio, tv, phones/sms, chat, email) if you try to broadcast your important thoughts to everyone on the planet you get a giant bill.

Speech was free. But Broadcast capability was not.

The unintented main feature of social media is broadcast being free. And the main unanswered question is why should it be free?

If all the neurons in your brain were broadcasting simultaneously to every other neuron the only outcome is seizures.

The EU has not answered this.

It has instead told the platforms they will be held responsible for seizures.

Someone has to come up with better answers about how we all coordinate broadcasting. Otherwise we will keep seeing scary and shocking seizures.
