It's wild - we have all these internal memos and shit from Meta where they're like, "Designing our algorithms on Facebook and Instagram to make people angry and hate themselves keeps them on the site half a second longer, which makes us an extra millionth of a cent. So obviously that's what we gotta do." It's not even a secret.

Yet despite all of the mountains of evidence that this is being intentionally done to people, particularly young people, the idea that we should regulate a handful of companies doesn't even come up for a vote. Apparently, trying to regulate the daily lives of tens of millions of people is a lot more rational?
