I know this thread is about AI, but the part of the discussion I was engaged in wasn't about AI regulation. It's about social media algorithms, click bait titles and the monetization of negativity via those means.And these laws are becoming... less useful. When they were created, the internet did not exist. The ability for a server to be hosted anywhere in the world and provide "illegal" content to users in other parts of the world wasn't a thing. Books were printed in a few places, they had to be shipped in mass to be commercially viable. Port inspectors were a thing.The best technological example of this applying to the internet is the Great Firewall of China. Each nation could chose to do the same, but the technology exists to bypass each of those as well. solutions exist, but those too can be breached, and patched, and breached, and patched...Not on the individual level. Each one of us can immediately help ourselves avoid the negativity of click bait et al by refusing to engage. It's immediate, and effective. Regulation of the platform algorithms has been poor and piecemeal. It will never be faster (though it might be more effective en mass) that what we can do for ourselves.</blockquote>
