Careful I think you might be choking on all that strawman.

Terminally online types complain all day about how social media is terrible and needs to be regulated until the moment actual legislation is being passed then they complain about that instead.



>Terminally online types complain all day about how social media is terrible and needs to be regulated until the moment actual legislation is being passed then they complain about that instead.

Even if that were the case, demanding a solution doesn't mean accepting a bad solution.

"My dog is hungry" "Well I killed your dog and it no longer experiences hunger, please clap"


You really accuse me of a strawman argument and then literally write this after?

> Terminally online types complain all day about how social media is terrible and needs to be regulated until the moment actual legislation is being passed then they complain about that instead.

'Terminally online types?', 'complain all day?'

You have broad assumptions, exaggerations, and stereotypes in that one sentence. It could be the dictionary definition of strawman.
