You have to separate “these companies” and their social media capabilities.
a) YES they should be regulated. How ’bout “no lying?” That’s a good place to start.
b) the reason why everyone is so upset is that tracking user’s behavior, manaipulating users and lying to us – is NOT going to help you get into heaven or build positive reputation – unless you’re #TrumpVirus, Brexit supporters or fascist racists everywhere.
c) why not just kick Peter Theil off the board – that would be helpful.
Changing your name is not going to divert our attention to your evil.
