Good riddance to regressive tax to bail out Bay Area public transit: Letter to the editor

I am very concerned about what AI and social media are doing to our country and the world. Extreme leaders are emerging all over the world including in the United States, and I believe social media as well as television are big contributors to the problem.

I think that in addition to paying sources for their content, as your article suggests, we need to hold social media and television responsible for dishonest opinions. They are all publishers and, since publishers of newspapers are held accountable, so should they be.
