Agree

No

From a consumerist perspective, the market should dictate the operations of social media platforms rather than government regulation. Consumer choice and competition are seen as mechanisms to improve quality, including the quality of information. However, this score is not higher because consumerism does not explicitly oppose all forms of regulation, especially if such regulation could potentially enhance consumer trust and thus consumption.
