Because we will lose the fundamental freedoms we got with the internet itself if we regulate in such a way to lock in the power of Google, Apple, meta, and TikTok. Just like the AI companies that wanted regulation in order to lock out competition, will see it with social media regulation.

Except that none of the proposed regulations in the US do that. Even in Europe some parts of the DSA do regulate large providers differently, they also make most non-commercial services illegal due to it being impossible to comply with the laws. You’re providing a service without a company!

AI companies aren't asking to be regulated out of responsibility, they're doing it to lock out competition. Unlike social media giants, OpenAI & Anthropic have no competitive moat. @masnick.com argues they're inviting regulators in because it's the only way to stop rivals from catching up.

Bluesky is scared to commit to making a universal app that works with any atproto lexicon. I am not. And am pretty committed to our social-app fork being able to work with more and more content types (short video, fintech, blogs, music, etc.) Acorn customers get this for their communities too.
