      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.

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

        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.
