Now that is interesting, unless you're teasing. You don't consider this site to be porn?

I don’t view forums as social media, more chat rooms like the old irc days.

For me social media firms are your twitter, facebook, instagram, myspace, tiktok types.

Bottled water, fill up your own bottle. Also think there should be water fountains where you can then refill your own bottles too.

It's madness that water is bottled, into plastic that then leaches chemicals into your water. Which is then transported on lorries to supermarkets.

Beat me to it.

If people don't believe politics is an industry then ask yourself why so many multi-millionaires are drawn to earning just over £80k a year from it?

Because the majority are earning (in the loosest possible sense of the word) significantly more just because they persuaded the public to foolishly vote for them.

Yep. Politics is essential. Corrupt politics isn't.

It need to go back to being a service rather than a business.

Absolutely.

If I had to magically modify any industry, rather than abolish it, it might well be politics. An independent apolitical anti corruption committee, not overseen or touchable by politicians (maybe the judiciary? I don't know. Constitutionally impossible in the UK as it stands), with the power to investigate and prosecute corrupt practices. I'd define corruption pretty widely and I'd make penalties severe. (and yes, it'd apply to all politicians of all persuasions)

In my home state of New South Wales, there's an Independent Commission Against Corruption (the federal government don't want one - this is my shocked face) whose investigations forced the Premier (think like Scottish First Minister) to resign. (I'd probably think of a different name, because I probably want a nicer acronym than ICAC - I cack)

I’d abolish online influencers.

Stifle originality at best, create inappropriate role models and ideals people cannot afford to live up to at worst.

It’s an industry based on manipulation.

My views only I’m sure there are some lovely influencers but the bloody name itself troubles me.

I'm glad to see increased regulation of influencers, because in many instances it is just poorly disguised advertising
