Mate understand I am not the industry trying to deflect, I am a human asking how to clearly define 'social media' to encapsulate all of the sites we consider 'social media' without damaging perfectly fine applications, or if we can come up with a better solution than 'ban it all'.

HN is usually pretty good about brainstorming as a group on topics like these, and I value the insights of others.

I'm a SysAdmin. I'm not about to write the law, just trying to partake in the discussion

Also, the comment I referred to was quite literally talking about banning the use of algorithms to serve content. I'll ask you what that is, if it's not banning math?
