From the UK perspective broadcasters have a license to broadcast and are regulated by ofcomm. I thought the FCC had similar oversight of the US broadcasters - for example not being keen on swearing and sex on TV. For UK news programmes there is a requirement to be balanced for example.
I think one difference is Google is a pull system: you query Google and get results. The short form video streams are push mediums. They feed you a stream of content that it thinks you want. They are fundamentally more susceptible to pushing a particular agenda.
The evidence from the reports in the above article certainly looks pretty daming that tiktok is pushing a particular agenda. The comparison to broadcast which often does have licensing requirements is probably apt.
I don't buy the arguement that this gives cover to repressive regimes to censor more views because frankly they are doing that already.
There are even some reading guides depending on what sub-genre you are interested in if you don't want to read the whole cannon. They all standalone pretty well though.
From the foreword:
"Throughout, the Review has focused on hearing a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges within the current system and aspirations for how these could be addressed. This report does not contain all that we have heard but summarises consistent themes, using direct quotes to illustrate points made, where appropriate."
How heavily does she quote this group in the report? Because the report certainly doesn't recommend banning care for trans people.
Meeting with different groups is hardly evidence of bias on her part. The report even mentions the range of views that fed into report in the intro.
That's what the reflog is for!
You can launch Minecraft Bedrock with the mcpelauncher of the Steam Deck or you can use Waydroid.
Buy games from indie developers on platforms like itch.io. You may have a negative view of the other people involved in funding and marketing a triple AAA game but they all contribute and get a share of the retail price. You don't get to pick and choose who deserves to get their slice.

From the search page. But for a wider view of the times teachers have exerted undue influence over children in their care: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/jan/16/teachers-accused-relationship-pupils-five-years mentions 1000 teachers have been accused of undue influence over a five year period.
I'm not saying the teachers in this case had any undue intentions (the court will be in a far better place to assess the facts than random internet commentators). However it should be clear that teachers can influence children to do something against the wishes of their parents, unless you posit in all these cases it was still somehow the parents fault.
Slowly the hold outs are realising open source drivers are here to stay. I don't think propriety divers are ever going to go away but now you can have a fully open stack for all the main GPU stacks out there. I suspect more designs are insisting on open drivers and Nvidia doesn't want to be ruled out at the start.
