US Congess Creating Legislation To Mandate Tech Giants Censor, Track Online Media Anonymous 09/20/2017 (Wed) 10:11:00 Id: ba530e [Preview] No. 56279
Members of Congress in both parties have begun exploring possible legislative action against Facebook and other tech giants, setting the stage for a potentially massive battle in the midterm election year of 2018.

Why it matters: Following panic about the freedom of speech and press over the internet (aka "fake news") which led to a democratic defeat of the communist/marxist/neo-liberal government in the United States, politicians across the spectrum (commies and cucks alike) declared more scrutiny, surviellance and restrictions are needed.

The shift against our free internet has been sudden, and is one of the biggest stories of the year.

Republicans are likely to emphasize the 'national security' and 'homeland security' aspects to 'reining in the tech companies' (or should I say, their consumers).

On the Democrats side, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia is actively working to develop legislation to improve disclosure for online political ads.

Warner's office tells me: "As more and more dollars are being spent on these digital platforms, we may need legislation to require more disclosure about political ads running on social media, the way we do for television ads. ... [T]he ads you may see on Facebook are not public and are targeted narrowly to users based on different variables — making disclosure and transparency even more vital."
