I share your vision about what ideal regulation looks like.
I don't share your cynicism pertaining to motives. Well, I am cynical about it, but in a different way.
Politicians are feckless trend followers, cowardly in their disposition, preferring to follow the path of least resistance, and they lack any substantial vision or imagination themselves.
That explains why nothing bold is happening. And that lack of boldness is not unique to social media regulation.
