The US has freedom of speech, so having the government vet every poster is kind of a problem. Also, both the US and China give licenses to woo-woo doctors like traditional medicine doctors and chiropractors. It adds a hurdle, but isn’t going to stop people from becoming supplement salesmen.
That's true, but it could be the platforms doing the vetting rather than the government.
Is it any different to requiring an ID in order to use a service, like what Discord is doing (as required for legal compliance)?
I guess I'm just annoyed at how much bad health advice is on social media.
