Show-Me AG Bailey Clap Back Against Social Media Algorithms

Midwest push back against "big tech" has the potential to change course of the digital world.

However, this power move will likely amount to nothing more than an interesting press release. 

Honestly, it's unclear how conservatives should feel about about it given so many contradictions.

The main question: 

SHOULD GOVERNMENT REGULATE SOCIAL MEDIA NEWS FEEDS?!?!

Sorry, but that doesn't sound like a good idea and NOBODY thinks politicos are qualified to create a pleasing online experience. 

STILL . . . 

We understand where he's coming from and the frustration that so few plebs understand how their news is manufactured. 

Accordingly . . .

Here's the crux of the argument so that readers can decide for themselves . . .

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced he is issuing a regulation requiring Big Tech companies to offer algorithmic choice for social media users in Missouri. The first of its kind in the nation, Attorney General Bailey’s regulation will ensure Big Tech companies are transparent about the algorithms they use and offer Missouri consumers the option to select alternatives. Social media algorithms quietly control the news feed and content received by millions of users and have been used by tech companies to both censor speakers and manipulate the information they receive.
 
“Social media companies are supposed to provide a space where users can share views, content and ideas. Instead, Big Tech oligarchs have manipulated consumers’ social media feeds for their own purposes and exercised monopoly control over content moderation. To that end, I am invoking my authority under consumer protection law to ensure Missourians get to control the content they consume on social media,” said Attorney General Bailey. “With this rule, Missouri becomes the first state in the nation to enshrine transparency and accountability for Big Tech into law at this scale. Big Tech companies who run afoul of this regulation will be held accountable.”
