Gregory's Server@yunchtime @chriswho Regulation is vital. Only 2 countries allow direct marketing of drugs to the population (US and NZ). The rest regulate, for good reasons. We need to extend the regulation:

Most people have no clue how their data is collected and used.
@samueljohnson @chriswho
before Reagan it was illegal to push pharmaceuticals in direct advertising. Except for Biden pushing back on some drug prices I've seen almost no action to reverse this mess. as for us -- the working stiffs -- what are the options? call my senator? that has worked zero times so far for me in the last forty years... agit prop is good, though. anybody can get into it! and the ideas are multipliers. I'm all for regulation... and the EFF.
