One of my main problems with all of this is "what counts as social media". It's a stupidly broad term. Email? SMS? Forums?




I think it’s pretty easy to write a law that doesn’t include email and sms. They have no engagement algorithms.

Forums require a little more finesse - but a good starting point is distinguishing upvotes from personalized engagement-based algorithms.

Basically I don’t buy that your concern is a problem in practice.
