I legitimately can't tell if this is satire. > First, political commentary should be regulated Who does the regulating? The current Trump regime? Huge first amendment violation > come from SA/Zimbabwe and comment on posts of US political candidates. Because those posts are being made on a private platform. Are you sure you want something worse than UK's Ofcom proving your American identity just to speak? > It should be compulsory for voters to vote Maybe, but definitely not in a 2 party system. > make them understand how the economy, the Fed, world trade, US intelligence, foreign policy, interest rates, and bonds work Not specifically those. Please just have universal free education. There's no need to specifically teach kids how to think politically. That's definitely going to get abused for propaganda | ||

> I legitimately can't tell if this is satire. Mine was not, but yours definitely felt like it. > Who does the regulating? The current Trump regime? Huge First Amendment violation When you are running a YouTube channel or anything similar with millions of subscribers or even a few thousand, you are no longer an individual; in fact, you become just a news channel at that point. FCC has rules [0] for news channels, and those rules should apply to these unhinged political podcasters as well. License Revocation: In extreme cases, the FCC has the power to revoke the station's broadcast license. In other words, work with the firm (Meta\Google) to get that channel suspended. Alternatively, let people add facts. I don't think YouTube does that currently. > Are you sure you want something worse than UK's Ofcom proving your American identity just to speak? What's wrong with only allowing citizens and residents to comment on their country's political matters? | ||
