00:00When it comes to social media, hardly anybody is in charge.

00:03Now the mischief maker is faceless, anonymous.

00:06Because there are just so many of them that you cannot call out or point out one single face.

00:12Anonymity does not consist of nobody having a face.

00:16These days anonymity really means billions of faces.

00:21When there are billions of mischief makers, how many will you block?

00:25How many will you call out?

00:27And you cannot have laws that punish people for their intentions.

00:33Of course, if there is explicit content, you can punish it.

00:36If somebody is saying something that is factually misleading, you can punish it.

00:41But then mischiefs can be of thousand kinds.

00:45And those kinds are all very subjective.

00:47You cannot identify them.

00:48So regulation has become impossible.

00:50The only solution then is individual responsibility.

00:54And individual responsibility cannot come by way of legislation or regulation.

01:02Then the only solution is a cultural environment with spirituality at its center.

01:10Only then can people be self-regulated.
