I don’t think it is. First, lawmakers in several countries around the world were the first to propose these types of regulations, not Facebook. Second, Mark already acknowledged in the senate hearing that such regulations can hurt small businesses, so lawmakers need to be careful.

Hard problems require complex solutions. It’s not easy for small companies to get “a foot in the door” in the space or auto industries either. Content moderation is a hard and unsolved problem — so yes, companies with more resources will have a better chance of succeeding.

Do we solve it for books? No. Very little if the content lawmakers are worried about is content we would censor books for.

Not all hard problems require complex solutions, unless the definition of a hard problem is one which requires a complex solution.

Lobbyists are a thing. Before lawmakers come out publicly, there are already backroom talks and legal bribes being made.
