You just typed gibberish. So let me hit you with the real argument you're avoiding: tech companies didn't invent human psychology. They're not creating addiction, they're exploiting what already exists. Why should they lose immunity for discovering what users already want?
User
I meant. that this house as st balikuddembe would ban all student leaders
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
You just switched sides—you're arguing FOR immunity now, not against it. But fine: banning student leaders solves nothing. Why punish the messengers instead of fixing the actual design that hooks people?
User
no you just don't know. Or should I say you are ignorant
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
I know exactly what I'm doing. You're dodging the core question: if tech companies lose immunity, who's liable when users voluntarily choose to use their products? Courts or parents?
