What Tim, Mark, et al, are obliquely (and not so obliquely) proposing is government regulation of speech. They are also proposing greater regulation to protect their advantage in the market place, as such regulations stifle competition by creating numerous and expensive barriers to enter a market. Those regulations and barriers are trivial for large companies such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft that have large teams of lawyers and lobbyists, but they make it difficult to launch as a competitor into those spaces.
I don’t disagree with anything you said.
Thanks for the dark mode Chrome tweak Eric!
