I think what we really needed is laws to hold meta accountable.

At the moment there is a shitload of criminal incitement, and meta no longer moderates anything. That's the real problem. Which is kind of why the bans are needed. But they don't solve the underlying cause

The laws make sense, and, meta (and Murdoch media) are the two things that need more control over. Because it's literally gotten to the point they've normalized criminal and abusive behavior
