One of the wildest takes I’ve seen recently is the idea that social media should be regulated like a public utility, similar to electricity or water. The argument is that since we rely so heavily on these platforms for communication and information, limiting access could infringe on our rights, and therefore, the government should step in to ensure equal access and prevent monopolistic practices. It’s definitely a controversial topic that sparks a lot of debate about free speech, corporate power, and what responsibility social media companies should have in our society! What about you? Have you come across anything that really stood out?
