OK, so what would be in the text of this law making it enforceable and not easily game-able by the social media companies and without severe unintended consequences?


Why are you asking lawmaker questions of people on HN? What kind of answer are you expecting?

Just because I don't know how to write a law that can prevent it doesn't mean that I can't recognize an actual issue when I see it.


Because people like you then go and vote for politicians without actually understanding what they are proposing.

It's all Trump style "believe me I know how to fix it" and you will vote for the person that pushes your buttons regardless of whether they have a plausible solution or not.


So only lawyers should be allowed to vote, otherwise we are subjected to ad hominem attacks?


Lack of an informed populace has gotten us the government we have today in the US. I think we can do better.


It very much seems like you think you could do better. Not being a lawyer does not make someone part of an uninformed populace.


So everyone should go to law school?
