      That would require us to actually have some semblance of regulatory oversight to prevent this kind of behavior by tech companies in the first place.

      This country BARELY held together through the fire-hose of falsehoods during the last election. It is mighty bold (and dare I say naive) of you to believe we will be so lucky the next time. I do not share your optimism on either front.

          Governments have been lying to people since before time was a concept. Its no different now than 400 years ago, we’re just all screaming into the same digital boxes now.
