“Do we want a technology that normalizes and amplifies deception? That transforms privacy into a commodity? A society where a techno-oligarch can interfere, as one of them did yesterday, in the mobile phones of millions of citizens to tell them lies?” the prime minister asked last week. “The answer must be a clear no, and we will not give in.”

POLITICO

For Spain’s Sánchez, the fight against tech billionaires is personal

The prime minister has endured years of abuse on the social media platforms he now seeks to regulate.

Be aware that Sanchez is well known for big announcements and his resolutions be half of the initial intention. We have a phrase in Spain to name the phenomenon : "You've been PSOED" 🤷🏽‍♂️😒

@parismarx agree with the fact big tech are putting democracy at risk, and with this quoted text, but the rest of the article is basically about him wanting to introduce age verification. And I’m honestly not sure that’s the way to go, as it opens the door to mass surveillance.

What could be the solution, I don’t know though. Ideas?
