Reply to comment by skolioban in I Watched Elon Musk Kill Twitter’s Culture From the Inside | This bizarre episode in social-media history proves that it’s well past time for meaningful tech oversight by Hrmbee

So you'd be totally fine with the Trump administration regulating how social media companies operate?

Well Trump's gone now, and Elon is sticking around. So yes, the guy you can kick out is the better option than the guy who just has implicit power forever.

Well ideally you'd do it as an agency. But we've seen how that can also have major changes quickly with administration changes... Used to be more stable as was the intent of agencies, but they're largely not.

So I would say I wish they were regulated by an agency created by Congress with characteristics they used to be 70-80 years ago. But yeah that ain't gonna happen

We removed the Trump administration. We can't remove Elon Musk.
