      Would you rather a hostile foreign entity do it instead, who have vested interest in sewing destructive chaos as a goal, though? That’s the alternative.

        We don’t need a “hostile foreign entity”. Trump is doing that just fine all on his own.

        Since we’re not denying that white oligarchs do it too, then giving consumers a choice as to which manipulated information they see is better than having just our goverment decide. Sowing chaos isn’t inherently bad - law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice, and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.

          That’s just too vague to legislate. Stop talking to everyone because you’re being manipulated non-stop by everyone you know.

          I agree, wish this was the actual goal but it’s going to be hard to pry those rights out of their hands.
