Do feed and ranking algorithms have "sub-rational" influence over people's thoughts and opinions? If feeds are mind control, shouldn't courts and lawmakers just ban mind control? I'm glad we're taking it out of the hands of a foreign government, but why put it in the hands of domestic tech companies?
Of course that's the reasonable approach, but in reality the US gov't finds mind control useful, and wants to be able to exert influence over it, rather than allow a foreign gov't exert influence over it.
