Tl;dr:
1. Social media sites should be held responsible for 'harmful' content on their services
2. The committee said electoral law needed to be "updated to reflect changes in campaigning techniques".
3. Technology companies should be taxed to fund education and regulation
4. It also said security mechanisms and algorithms used by social networks should be available for audit by a government regulator, to ensure they are "operating responsibly".

I'm not sure that sounds that bad except #1

My question is always: is 4chan and Co. affected? I don't care about sites like Twitter or Facebook it's your fault if you use something that takes your info

The only thing the government should be harsher on is big companies and industries to make sure they don't fuck over the regular citizens. No more bailouts or biases, even when bribes are made.

What does this even mean? As if regulation of companies that collect more information about you than any government could hope to is a bad thing lol.
