And the comment responding to it did a wonderful job of rebutting your point, so I won’t repeat it.

It didn’t actually. It is fascinating to find so many pro-authoritarian pro-billionaire tech fascist accounts on Lemmy.

Just because we want thoughtful regulation does not mean we support Meta and Alphabet. Why is this fascinating or surprising? Do you think the EFF is a huge fan of link taxes or Facebook?

They have had years to change and thoughtfully regulate themselves and refused. These fascist billionaire companies profit by sowing chaos in our democracy and pushing propaganda into our population without even paying taxes. To hell with Meta and Alphabet.

That’s a whole lot of assumptions you’re making about me there, all because I said there are problems with a law. I guess Lemmy isn’t all that different from reddit after all.

It did no such thing. The commenter doesn’t even seem to be aware that “Lemmy” isn’t a place or organization.

Lemmy is 1000 independent websites, run by 1000 different independent individuals. And no single website running Lemmy will be in a position to wield influence over news media organizations.
