Twitter, Reddit support challenge of visa applicant social media requirement

I think comparing the US to China is misleading. Compared to the US in the past I can't tell if it's more totalitarian. Looking from the outside it looks more totalitarian.

Freedom of speech and privacy have been eroding in the US. I don't know if police brutality is constant at this level though I think the large amount of military grade equipment the police have has increased.

From my perspective it seems like a good idea for the US to reflect on where it is going compared to its past.

I don't get that at all. There is more communication going on now, than at any point in history. Easy proof: the internet and Twitter exist now. How is this an erosion of free speech? Almost every last dope in the country can blurt out nonsense 100 times a day (look at our POS).

Wha?! It's kind of the definition. Talk when you like, say what you like.
