Too late for that. Hoping that social media continues to be a bastion of free speech is like hoping that casinos continue to be responsible with their customers' finances.

Brazilian telecom regulation agency Anatel just made facial recognition mandatory to get a mobile number.

I can see why a sovereign country would want to regulate that level of campaign interference.
