What does this actually mean? Are you trying to ask politicians not to engage in politics? News organisations? Billionaires? Foreign intelligence services? Asking for legal restrictions on who's allowed to speak about what?

Just wait until you ask them to define what exactly 'politics' is. You'll either get no response or it'll boil down to 'the things I don't like.'

And to clarify, this is actually a really important question because it predicates the entire discourse of separating social media and networks from politics.
