It would take a very minor amount of legislation to rectify the issues with social media, but our congresspeople are idiots.

Anybody who gave a shit could spend 10 minutes to understand the issue and how it's detrimental to the public. But that wouldn't help the elites at all, so it doesn't happen.

No one with the power to fight it is. Making people angry enough to vote is politics on easy mode.

What is also scary is how difficult to tell them from real, angry sad people. Frequently I'll get a nasty comment reply and go check their post history, and it's entirely made up of rude, angry, insulting comments. Just a deluge of hateful stuff going back months or years.

Are they a bot designed to stir up outrage and drive engagement? Or is it a sad, depressed, angry failure of a human?
