    Considering it is not actual “news”, yes, it should be banned.

    Or force them to drop the “news” word from their branding and descriptions and add “entertainment.” But a ban would be better.

      Yes! News should be a legally regulated term, just like engineer, lawyer, or physician.

    Yes.

    Next question: should they ban Facebook? Also yes.

    Twitter? Yes, certainly.

      I think so long as there are content moderation policies that focus on misinformation, then they’re ok. But that’s challenging sometimes, and not always practical.
