    Make political advertisement / political messaging illegal on entertainment platforms. There’s precedent for highly regulated TV advertisements, why is there such a broad exception for unregulated manipulative online advertising? Why is cigarette, religious, drug advertising forbidden but political lies and agendas allowed, endorsed even? Fines need to be 50% of monthly worldwide profit and increase by 5% for each month of noncompliance.

    This simple legislation would instantly solve a lot of current issues with what’s wrong and protect free, democratic nations.

      Profit is a bad metric here, they have decades of experience pretending they have no profits. Make it 10% of company value each month.
