Publicly elected officials on what level? The FCC? What powers are we giving them?
When I hear a Senator Dianne Feinstein scolding
a panel of tech giants, I don't hear a benevolent leader with our best interests at heart, I hear someone infantalizing me for their own gain.
If the topic is data retention, let's target everyone. No one should be safe unless they can justify it under scrutiny & demonstrate security.
If the topic is "fake news", then its a battle of definitions, & regulation is unconstitutional on any government level--no matter how you spin it.
