Completely agree. Lobbyism isn’t a good thing. And we know who is going to win that battle if the one side rather sells their privacy than pay $5 a month for a service versus a multi billion dollar company that is happy to invest quite some money to get the politicians do what they like.
And I’m not a big fan of just letting capitalism do it’s thing in general. It will probably not end up with a solution that is fair and benefits everyone. In my opinion lawmakers should be more proactive and also learn about the technology they need to regulate. We need some answers anyways. Even the industry struggles with questions like: how does copyright go together with AI.
I also struggle with all the recommendation algorithms and filter bubbles. And I think that’s only getting worse and not healthy to society at all.
