Regulation is awful. Yes social media is an objective net negative to society but think of all the billions Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't have made if some regulations stopped him.

What regulations would you suggest would have "stopped" Zuckerberg? Stopped him from doing what, exactly? Allowing people to post pictures of their dogs on the internet?

You live in a fantasy world if you think regulation can make it "less addictive."

It's not even a monopoly. Good lord you people are beyond r-slurred.

Implying minimum pricing and huge taxes aren’t regulatory tools.

yes correlation = causation

nothing else could have caused this

It wasn't like we all realized how cancerous, stanky, and expensive they are.

most already addicted kept up the habit and fewer took it up over time...

no, it was 'regulations' that saved us :marseygigaretard:

having to write "this product causes cancer" 20x on the box made all the difference

Source? Source? Source?

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

The only one of your four options that's even hypothetically workable is the privacy regulations. The other three are completely r-slurred. Two of them ("addictiveness" and "targeting children") make no sense and I challenge you to suggest any way either of these things is possible, and the other one ("monopoly") isn't true about facebook in any sense of the word. My conclusion is that you're a redditor.

"OH NO! The current generation of parents who have spent the past decade handing their kids tablets, phones, and computers are being targeted by corporations! We need to tell companies to, uh, stop that somehow! Ignore the fact that kids now expect to be connected online to be with their friends! Change the algorithms or something!"

It's clear the population would rather allow their kids to continue being terminally online and just gimp popular sites and apps to be family friendly as opposed to limiting their use to school and work. The zoomer internet dependency happened because it was convenient for the parents, and now they pretend that this was some insidious psyop that was forced upon them.

The best part about Euroshitter regulations like this is that they don’t actually prevent any of the things they’re concerned about, they just make things worse for regular people.

Its actually genius how backwards it is.

Instead of imposing insane penalties for fricking up, which would make companies nervously police themselves, they just demand money up front for a seal of approval.

Regulators get fat paychecks and the corporation is blameless when the unforeseen disaster occurs.
