Interesting to watch people confront themselves like this. Everyone's libertarian until they see a real harm that actually upsets them and they can't victim-blame.

Misinformation on social media? We can't ban that, it would be a slippery slope to fascism. What even is "misinformation" anyway?
Hate speech on social media? We can't ban that, it would be a slippery slope to fascism. What even is "hate" anyway?
Algorithmic feeds? Fascist mind control. We must only allow strictly chronological feeds or it's the reeducation camps for us all.
The kids these days and their memes? WHAT DOES RIZZ EVEN MEAN? BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND AND SALT THE ASHES.

Nah man there are a lot of harms that upset me where I still think regulation would cause more harm. Anything related to the latest craze over CSAM and encryption is a good example.
On the other hand, if anyone wants to try making advertisement contracts unenforceable (illegal, essentially), I'll be the first in line.
