    Not to the extent that China is. They do not have freedom of speech nor freedom of the press. That said, I would love to see legislation addressing this problem globally, and also legislation about all of the data mining.

      This argument is a stray one; while it is clear that China itself is a giant, state-controlled chamber, China recognizes that IT platforms and algorithms facilitates the creation of chambers that can be very biased.

      America is not even willing to look into that seriously, falsely equating money (from investors and advertisers) with freedom, resulting in systems that are designed to milk attention of the public at the risk of undermining America itself.
