In my country it’s a big deal because voting is mandatory and you get a fine if you don’t vote.
Yes. I think it’s important too. Not sure what people read in my comment. Yet why should people rely on Instagram to know to vote? Instagram is a social media that has nothing to do with real world or politics of a country. Not sure if you read the article or the quote. Again why should people rely on Instagram for any of that what has to do with real world politics? Why are people depending on that? I don’t go to Lemmy or Reddit or Facebook either to inform myself on who or when to vote.

Nobody said they should. But people are idiots and make conclusions from what they read in there anyway, so they should be liable if they spread misinformation or if they, like Facebook, contributed to a coup in Myanmar or had a role in the attempt of taking the US Capitol.

You really need to live inside a jar to believe that nonsense.
Remember Cambridge Analytica? One of the selling arguments to the Trump campaign was that they helped the triumph in my country of a right-wing party by using Facebook. So “nothing to do with real world or politics”? Fuck that noise.
