    @Mabande @Abazigal @havvyhh2 the problem is that in democracy the people who make the laws are the same who profit from social media to get elected... hence they are hardly motivated to push against them. imho the only reasonable solution is social media that can not be centrally controled.

    @grepe @Abazigal @havvyhh2 Decentralized socmedia's not safe from regulation/centralized control.
    E.g. how UK forums closed down after the age verification scheme while corpo socmedia just added leaky verification; how queer.af shut down after the Taliban returned to power; how mastodon.social kinda sets the fedi tone.
    Getting people off of unregulated corpo socmedia and onto the decentralized seems harder than influencing politicians/law (Italy just fined Meta a hefty sum).
