Should candidates be allowed to blast an opponent through smear commercials, well, since that would be considered meddling because those commercials normally only play in the opponents area for persuasion purposes. It’s all just a waste of energy. This type of convincing one party is more suitable than the other has been going since politics started. I suppose it only gets attention now due to the extreme dumbing down of the U.S. population!

IMO, Candidates are free to use the platforms as they want. The problem I have is when the platform owners themselves factor political bias into search algorithms. It is no better and probably worse than anything the Russians did.

I'd be game if we could get rid of social media all together. It is rotting the brains of the world.
