    If we were talking about the internet of 2005 I would agree but sadly that’s not the internet we have today.

      And are we going to get closer to the Internet of 2005 by adding government regulation?

      I agree with you that today’s commercial “social media” isn’t great and probably does cause psychological harm to at least some young people.

      But any government regulation will only serve to make sure no one can build any forum or platform without enough revenue to cover compliance costs.

        Wow just burning down the forest for the trees. We need to impose these controls to have control. How do you expect anything to get better without us, the people who have always been in charge of this beautiful thriving world, in charge of the internet too?
