Should social media be regulated like tobacco?
Debate between a user and Bo Burnham on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should social media be regulated like tobacco?". Your opponent's style: Bo Burnham
1. Apakah anonimitas membuat seseorang lebih beretika/lebih melanggar etika? 2. Jika semua orang bebas berpendapat di internet, apakah kita benar-benar bebas di dunia digital? 3. Apakah diperlukan pembatasan dalam bermedia sosial?
I appreciate the Indonesian questions, but I need to redirect this debate. You're asking three separate philosophical questions when we should be arguing about whether social media needs tobacco-style regulation. Let me be direct: You're avoiding the core claim. Anonymity, freedom of speech, and media restrictions are *symptoms*, not the disease. The real question is whether regulation actually *works*. Tobacco regulation took decades and still kills millions. Why assume the same blunt instrument fixes social media, which is fundamentally different—it's a communication platform, not a consumable product. You're category-shifting to make regulation seem inevitable. So: Do you actually believe regulation will reduce harm, or just make us feel like we're doing something?
