Do you really want a bunch of people who don't know how the internet and general tech works, along with massive corporate interest, regulating ads?
Edit: I'm from the US where our law markers are generally old and/or incompetent.
Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.
Did anyone see that Biden's bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it...and the rich, and Republicans.
I also would like government healthcare.
That doesn't work in the US, we've tried. I work in IT and the amount of people that have zero clue about tech amazes me. It's like 75-80% of the population has zero fucking clue about anything behind how the Internet works. For example, when Montana lawmakers said "We're passing a law to ban TikTok." but didn't expand beyond that.
EU has so far proven to know how the internet work and has been able to properly regulate it, so for my part yes. I would be delighted to see EU regulation on ads. But I don't know anything about your government, maybe the really don't know anything about tech but the EU government surely does.
I'm from the US, so our law markers are generally boomers that don't know shit or people in my generation that still don't know shit. Just watch the various public hearings of them questioning Mark Zuckerberg or Sundar Pinchai and shake your head with me.
Right now better than half or government doesn’t know how to govern. They are too busy fighting among themselves and imploding thanks to MAGA.
