    We do, but it’s a lot more difficult to enforce. We can’t just grab a tweet, open the bottle and check how much sugar is in there

      Hmmm, maybe if that bottle of sugar is undermining democracy it shouldn’t be allowed. A democracy needs to protect itself from itself

        Democracy needs to protect free speech. Part of that is keeping the information “playground” equal and fair. Fighting disinformation and protecting access to the press is important for that.

        A well informed population is vital to prevent the masses from being dragged along by some rich guy just buying a common social media platform

          100%, that’s always been the case since the printing press was invented, but at some point you need to know that hate speech isn’t free speech

                Thank you for clarifying! And yes, you’re absolutely right. Freedom to speak for what you stand for doesn’t mean you’re free to speak like an #######.

                Although I can see how some people find that confusing
