    Maybe we just need to ban all social media for the last 2 weeks leading up to an election, similar to how many countries ban publishing polls in the final stretch before an election.

      I might be wrong, but the UK I believe has laws against the media talking about elections like the day before and day of polling.

      That’s just blanket censorship, breaking up social media companies and forcing their federation, shut down is a better deal imo.

      Simply banning mass forms of communication is backwards and will obviously lead to accusations of rigging for the incumbent party.

      Maybe we need to find the spine to auto-lock/auto-ban all such enemy-agent bots.

      WELL past-time we did-so.
