    Its just a fact that sponsored media is absolutely nothing but paid lying that undermines democracy and is aimed at dumbing down the public and getting the public to act counter to its own interests- it is a literal war on the public and a war on what is right and good. All it does is censor, distort, lie and drown out on behalf of entitled parasites.

    But now social media which is far from perfect and increasingly tainted and contaminated by sponsorship (paid lying) is supposed to be accurate as to what its unpaid posters post (not just the paid posters) or the platform maintainers can be sued? That is so wrong when what we need are dumb pipes not these entities that tried to hide behind entertainer status. Not Fox that fired its anchors for exposing the total BS of Monsanto rBST and insisted it had a right to lie and deliberately mislead the public for profit about matters of critical public interest importance. The key for the idiots seems to be if its a paid crime than its acceptable the moronic profit makes it justifiable instead of making it an aggravated felony that should lead to instant loss of charter. The key line they seem to want to protect is the undue influence and absolute conflict of interest and corruption of 'sponsors' misleading the public to continue to bilk and oppress the public and undermine law. What needs to be made illegal is sponsorship. Sponsorship is beyond dumb to begin with.

    We can have dumb pipe systems where content providers only get payment if at all and at the sole discretion of the end user and only ever after the fact almost the present system of likes (but without the spying) but with an optional micropayment that are instantly calibrated to whatever the end user and only the end user decides its worth and only after the fact and only for the purpose of priming the pump for future works and for no other reason and in a culture where all advertising is opt in only on a global basis and where all money in the transaction must go only to the end user and where unwanted interruption or spam is a crime- crime of theft of attention and interruption cost with automatic standing to sue. Should also bar providers suggesting a price- that is called freedom of speech because all these platforms no matter what belong to the public commons. Also need to bar attempts to create attention enclosure or lock in- all data belongs to the end user and must be total portable the sole expense of the platform provider with no cookies allowed and privacy settings opt out to the maximum. Really all advertising should be replaced by open un-sponsonsored search that doesn't keep end user data. If someone is going to be paid for their attention (time) it again must be on a global permission first opt in basis that requires end user permission in each case to opt in but global end user totally revoke-able by end user only permission to even proffer where actual payment must be at least at the rate of gross global product divided by seconds of waking human attention.

    We need an article 92 type rule against technicalities here as well. Anything that after the fact even appears to be an attempt to give members of the public the short end of the stick or suffer fools needs to be considered fraud and lead to both criminal and civil penalties on a a we knows it when we sees it basis. All, absolutely all burden and risk must be shifted irrevocably onto the supply side. While we're at it lets limit copyright to 20 years retroactively. And lets recognize that protecting the public not rent seekers is the permanent priority.
