Exactly. This shouldn't be a partisan issue understanding that these social media companies are bad for this country and for the world. They're incredibly manipulative with absolutely zero accountability.

I quit using FB probably 5 or so years ago and don't miss it a bit. Right wing, left wing, virtue signaling, conspiracy theories, just a fricking absolute cesspool of opinions and statements from people that I considered friends and acquaintances.

As a society, we used to put the crazies away in homes or hide them in public. Social media not only drags them out of the woodwork but gives them spotlights and megaphones to amplify their insanity.

Start considering these companies publishers, holding them legally liable for what's published on their platforms, and they'll straighten right the frick up.
