I would, but big tech is outpacing them in power and influence. Most people seemed to see Don’t Look Up as a warning about climate change, and it is, but I resonated far more strongly with its warning about Silicon Valley.

At least with cable everyone gets the opportunity to see what everyone else is watching. Content on social media feeds is made specifically for the person viewing it, who knows what dark rabbit holes the people you interact with on a daily basis are being led down? It used to be that we could construct a theory of mind for these individuals, you could even argue that it was a defining feature of our society enhancing social cohesion. Not even the worst of the cable news channels can lay claim to destroying that.

You could also make an effort to watch things others watch, instead of believing all information will come to you without any effort

What control do we have to do so? You're served what you're served.

I'd love to see a log of every ad sent to my ip address by how much it cost to place and how much it earned the site.

You absolutely nailed it.

> What about Fox and MSNBC channels that spew hate and conspiracy theories non-stop?

For those of us who don't watch either of them, does anyone have a few examples of hate and conspiracy theories they have pushed?

saddam was involved in 911, iraq has wmds, russiagate, syrian gas attacks, bengazi was caused by a youtube video, theres an epidemic law abiding black people being regularly executed by white cops for no reason, russias invasion of ukraine was unprovoked, jan6 event where there are videos of cops opening the doors and allowing people into the capital was worse than 911, etc

> russias invasion of ukraine was unprovoked

How is this hate and/or a conspiracy theory, even if it was true?

Yes
