    I mean, yes, good, but I also feel like this is something that the government should be doing and they should be prosecuting social media that harms people

    Like, I know it sounds crazy, but it should not be on the companies that are destroying America to protect America. It should be the government’s job to protect America, and the companies should be punished for any harm they cause.

    The companies don’t run the government, so why is the government off-loading its responsibility to the companies? Fuck.
