Spent a lot of time thinking about this over the past few months, but this week got me to writing about it. We have a massive content over-supply problem, particularly of divisive content.
Much of today's political communication isn't bought by parties during elections. It's produced by creators who are paid and promoted by platforms. We regulate campaigns because money shapes politics. It's time to recognise that creator programmes do too.
