... as I just said previously: I fully support strict regulation, worker protections, and holding "Big Tech" accountable. However, as a mainstream Democrat, I view this proposal as a clear overreach. I'll bet that we have some reasonable elected officials who can think of a less extreme way to gradually accomplish similar goals in ways that are more likely to receive bipartisan support that will actually pass. It's clear that this latest proposal is dead on arrival. It's more of a political stunt to generate conversation than any serious attempt. And while it has accomplished the (presumed) goal of generating conversation and debate, it's also quite divisive and just helps to highlight the hostilities that exist. And in that regard, I wonder if the "conversation" on a bill that's going nowhere is worth the price of creating further distrust and using it as a cudgel against the Democratic party and those of us who think that this proposal is just a bridge too far.
