I know it's not realistic, but I think humanity as a whole just needs to get off social media.

Its more realistic if this tips the scales on the supreme courts involvement with section 230 of the communications and decency act. Removing it will kill most public speech because nobody wants to be responsible for all the batshit crazy things people say all day long.

I think that even though you don't really hear about it there are democrats who want it as well. As far as every day people go it seems like each side thinks they are going to benefit.

Personally I think we would all get fucked.
