We can never trust the social media companies to clean themselves up, they will always do everything in their power to be evil.

Thus we need actual regulations:

1) Mandate that all content algorithms must be published, making them subject to independent review

2) Hold social media companies legally responsible for the content pushed by their algorithms by removing the safe harbour provisions so many countries enacted in the early days of the internet. Those provisions shield social media companies from liability for the content their algorithms push. Any content pushed by an algorithm should be considered published by the social media company and it should be held fully liable.

Privatisation doesn't create competition. The free market doesn't lower prices. All it does is degrade the service because the profits go to shareholders and company execs, not back into the business for improvement. All the selling points of privatisation are fucking lies.

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊
