He said he doesn’t want to see a repeat of the advent of social media, which started small and ballooned faster than Congress could react. > > ... > > Lawmakers and others shouldn’t be reflexively hostile to the new technology, but also shouldn’t wait too long before drafting policies or new laws to help regulate it, Auchincloss said.

Holy shit, out of all the decisions congress has made about Tech this seems like the most enlightened perspective. Realizing the big fuckup of letting social media run like the wild west until it's too late. Hopefully this isn't just a show and someone actually has a lightbulb moment.

Regulation can be functionally equivalent to hostility. Depends on what the regulations are.
