"Parliament needs to understand how social media companies dial up and down the content that supports healthy democracies, as well as the anti-social content that undermines public safety."

Healthy democracies allow people to post jokes about political parties, complain about violent demographics, and notice social trends that affect average citizens.

I'm not surprised. At all. Coming to an America near you.

An alternative solution is that the government kills those average citizens. Unfortunately, they never choose such solutions.

"Anti-social content"? Pretty much all content on Twitter is "anti-social". It's an advertising platform, not some happy place. Instagram is a public display of narcissists, LinkedIn is a public display of available slaves and Reddit is a collection of basement dwellers entertained by depressed YouTubers.
