The greatest innovation in crime ever was the seizure of media by criminals. They can slander their detractors, cover up their crimes entirely or blame others for them, spread disinfo and then prey on the confused and bewildered, and praise the weakest of police spokepeople and political figures which will help the idiots get elected to these positions and hence the crimes can continue.
As traditional media become fake news, crime figures swarmed the socials, for the same reason. Would a bioterrorist install covert assets into the socials for the same reason, to provide a smoke screen, a cover, censorship, attack vectors against critics? Undoubtedly.
And here we are. The same game has played out for at least a century.
The pathetic way that @jack and zuck get called into hearing after hearing, make noises of contrition and promise to be good boys, then leave and continue the exact same shenanigans without even a pause really grinds my gears. What other criminals get so much leeway?
No more protections, no more immunity. Blatantly hosting child abuse material should have their entire org raided and ended - domains seized, doors kicked in, and execs dragged out in handcuffs for the cameras.
How many dem congress people and senators have spouses in the media though? It makes a legislative outcome hard when criminals can just rubber-stamp their own get-out-of-jail-free cards.

But, now we have the digital warriors. We're going to give them the greatest game of whack-a-mole the world has ever seen. WWG1WGA!

Which is why I think the first arrests should be the mainstream media.
