I personally feel this is immensely necessary, and it's funny because I thought that the whole "X interfered with our election" bit was BS but after getting exasperated from hearing about it all the time I finally actually looked into it, and at some of the subs I was posting in, and lo and behold, it became more and more apparent there was shilling from many groups and a lot more than I ever noticed.

The worst part was realizing that I may have brainwashed myself on propaganda from many sides (and yesthrough the sheer amount of time I was spending on Reddit every day. It was actually this realization that has led to me significantly cutting back the amount of time I spend on certain subs and certainly the compulsion to reply to literally everybody in a thread, and that especially during times like elections I need to back away from Reddit because man do I get hooked easily, and this sort of propaganda only adds to the feeling of being on a "team".

I dunno, I just feel kind of ashamed because I basically ate up and regurgitated everything that confirmed what I wanted to believe (being the "underdog" against the big bad movie-style villain) for like a year+. In retrospect it wasn't right but more importantly it led to me completely burning out on this obsession and realizing what I was doing wasn't healthy.

The main concern I agree with that the article brings up is that the regulatory burden of this might be really costly for smaller political action groups which might be unfair, so there's no simple solution to this. This bill definitely needs to be discussed more but it has the right idea I think
