I would prefer them to go after mechanisms like this over tying all web activity to IDs I guess, but punishing and penalizing companies that have clear ill intent and demonstrate a lack of moral scruples seems the most efficient way to address the issues we’re seeing with social media design.

    It’s all bureaucratic nonsense that will get nothing done, and just placates people while the companies continue to do the same thing they always have with a different mechanism.

    This is more pathetic than a US democrat offering cheaper health insurance instead of socialized healthcare.
