Which raises the question of how thorough it is. Is it retroactive? Does it affect memories? Do their possessions, the impact they have or had on the world, disappear, undo? Or is it just a fancy disintegration ray?
Aren’t Google, Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook, their own companies, and they could do whatever with their product? Barring anything dealing with race, sex-preference, gender, etc, of course.
I’m assuming you’re taking a dig at them and disagree with their practices. If not, nevermind.
Why supervillains are always “right”? Obviously the world would be oh-so-much-better without TV. But yet they fall short of doing the right thing and just scrambling TV for good, instead they dedicate their efforts to pick up crumbs at the roadside…

You’ll notice he’s not denying her statement.
Oh blip blippety-blip he CANCELLED them!
