Well, I don't think it's been hacked. I think it's just that the marketplace for our information is structured very differently than it used to be. In that old model, we had all sorts of ways of and mechanisms for limiting and regulating speech during elections, for foreign money going into the media market, for forced disclosures from broadcasters of who's paying for what ad during an election.... These things are the ways that we regulated speech in order to protect our public sphere during the time of an election, noting that this was a particular moment in our society when quality information was important.
Those regulations and laws aren't very applicable in this new ecosystem. The question is, do we think they need to apply? Do these same principles need to apply in this new ecosystem? I would argue that they do, but that the regulations need to look different because the structure of that ecosystem is different.
