Because the algorithms favor alt right garbage heaps and the companies will never bother to fix them. Hence why we need some regulations.
Let's be honest. The companies only really care about "engagement" and the Right is more than happy to provide that.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean about regulations, but I think regulating what political views can and can't be seen on the internet is a very slippery slope. I completely agree that their viewpoint is garbage, however, countries like China and Russia made laws with the same justification, and now they completely control the media in their countries and control the political views of their citizens because of it. That said, as much as I distrust my government, I don't believe they are as bad as Russia or China. However, a day may come where they are just as bad. And if that day comes, I don't want them to be able to control what political views we are allowed to put on the internet.
