Maybe by the manufacturers, but I doubt it; see Musk's pivot to conservative pantomime since acquiring Twitter.

And Ed Markey is not exactly a conservative politician.

The basis for regulating broadcast airwaves is not the same as the basis for regulating Twitter, so that’s kind of a non-sequitur.

Markey is a center-left Dem, but he is very technically naive — see his support for KOSA — and like a lot of Democrats can easily get rolled by Republicans with ulterior motives.
