But seriously, there needs to be a much larger overhaul of the legacy of the 1996 internet law, starting with the minimum age. At the time, the debate was between age 16 and age 18, which was a sane discussion. After the bill left committee, the minimum age was inexplicably lowered to 13, which is not sane. It needs to rise back to where the original discussion pointed, maybe as low as age 16 (driver's license, lowest age of consent) or as high as age 18 (age of majority).
Antimonopoly law, neglected for a generation after the late 1990s, needs to be revived and applied. Addictive and manipulative business models need to be restricted.
The spirit of the 1996 law was informed by the carefree, neoliberal 1990s mentality that is obsolete (if you follow some) or dead (if you follow Bari).
Cannabis legalization as now have it was a mistake. Legalizing full-blown THC psychosis and addiction for recreational use was always crazy. Better, more sensible approaches are available, like allowing CBD extracts while limiting THC to research and medical use. This is common in saner countries.
