One thing that frightens me is when politicians start trying to draft bills and govern social media and internet content, when they have little understanding of it themselves. When Mark Zuckerberg went before Congress to speak about social media and Facebook in particular, Democrats were unhappy about the amount of misinformation that was being freely and openly spread on Facebook without restriction, and Republicans were unhappy because they felt that every action Facebook took to curb misinformation, seemingly negatively impacted them.
Regardless, the one thing I remember was the obvious complete lack of understanding of how Facebook works and what social media is by more than a few of the people in Congress who were questioning Zuckerberg. Someone compiled a "best of" segment, featuring the audio of their sometimes heated questions, and Zuckerberg's replies where it was obviously he was somewhat dumbfounded by what they were asking, which showed they had no clue. He was trying to be as respectful as possible and give them answers without making them sound like idiots.
Those people should not be regulating or passing bills to control social media when they don't fundamentally understand how it works.
