The challenge ahead is not just about regulation, but about creating a paradigm shift in how we approach and interact with these powerful tools that have become integral to our daily lives.

We need to critically examine the attention economy model that prioritizes engagement over truth and social good. As we grapple with Meta's latest move, it's crucial to consider how we can reshape our digital ecosystem to better serve society's interests.

To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
