Last time we had laws protecting people from addiction it didn't work well lol
Bootleg social media feeds and gangsters fighting over social media territory?
That depends, do I get a Tommy gun?
Only one kind of tommy gun I would want when it comes to social media.
You like NFT, yeah?
What Musk has done in the last 2 years with Twitter looks a lot like a gangster moving into valuable turf. Granted, he immediately scared off a lot of people but it's still pretty valuable turf.
15 year olds drinking beer during lunch at school isn't a thing. 15 year olds tiktoking through lunch is.
Regulation and a ban outright are a bit different. A minimum drinking age and restrictions on heavy metals in my booze are nice and didn't cause a resurgence in the mob. But I am hesitant when government trues to regulate tech in this way. Having the government dictate how my stuff works is just as scary as an unimpeded big tech.
