A common theme really. Just look at youtube´s "notification bell" and forced un-subbing. These social networks are going out of their way to be classified as publishers rather than platform providers. It´s going to bite them and us all in the ass so freaking hard and Jack, Mark and Susan will deserve everything that is to come their way both from regulators as well as users that will _eventually_ be fed up with these shady practices.
It's really weird to me how I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast interview of Ben Shapiro and he made that same comment and I found myself agreeing with.. Ben Shapiro. But if the social media magnates are going to try and become publishers and not platforms, which they are by curating what is printed on their sites as much as any editor of any newspaper, then I don't think they realize what they have coming.
Or possibly worse, we don't realize that it's exactly what the government wants.
