I came of career age during Wangs. Bot Farms were a total new one on me only a few years ago. But with the spread and addictive character of Social Media, we're going to have to get a handle on all of it before too much longer. When we take back our government, we may find, like some European nations, that there are certain limits to free speech that will need to be enacted. That will hurt a lot, for what we grew up understanding... but hate speech and speech disseminated by non-humans only for the aristocracy has to be nipped in the bud at some point. It's not a popular opinion, I know. And I hope there are several ways of achieving it without too much restriction. But our Constitution is sorely out of date in today's AI world.
