So far I have not seen a nuanced take on this yet. I wonder if Doctorow will write about it.<p>Lots of talk about government overreach, zero talk about the games Facebook has been playing with media, which have been nasty and colonial.<p>The government is acting as a blunt cudgel here, but they are doing something where everyone other than the EU and maybe Australia are doing either nothing or else helping them to devour the vitality of our culture.
