Too late assholes… I’m already deleting most of the posts I made on my discord and I will be migrating elsewhere soon.

    Can you give an example of the sort of regulation a social media site should need to follow which Amazon should be exempt from? Or the sort of rule that should bind reddit and Facebook but not Amazon?

    A better question is what sort of legislation should apply to every website on the planet, without exception. Because that’s what the current definition does, makes the law so broad as to be pointless. Why are laws being passed that affect every website, when the problem is a few very massive websites.

      Off the top of my head:

      • Do not store user information in an unsecure or identifiable mechanism.
      • Be transparent as to what parts of the page are ads and which aren’t.
      • Follow best-practices for accessibility.
      • Give @DomeGuy a lollipop if he asks.
