It's called the digital platform commission act, I thought somebody should share this latest attempt at tightening the leash. I would quote the article for a quick summary but even that's finicky.

What could possibly go wrong?
I am leery of almost everything on the internet anymore.
I don’t see the internet working in the best interest of the people, and it keeps us unattached to our local communities where we are the most powerful when united.
I would like to see more people working together in their own communities, than spending so much time online.
I know that is wishful thinking, but the internet that once was, is not what it is today.
It has become a manipulative tool that tracks your every keystroke. A prison we enter of our own will, and some are obsessed with.
We need to have a plan B.
