This was fascinating read, my take away from it was; there need for social media regulation by an 3rd party organization(s), e.g. mass social media needs regulation similar to relations between financial industry and organizations such as FINRA, CFTC, and SEC with reporting/access standards.

That is a great analogy that I had not thought of before and finance is everything to me.

I think in the same way we need to accept all regulation in this area will have flaws but flawed regulation is far better than zero regulation.
