I wouldn't be a hyperbolic as that, but you're not wrong. It's about protecting policies and norms that manifest western democratic values on the global stage.
In one way, it's existential: the march of authoritarianism is undoubtedly accelerated by nation-states manipulating social media.
But in most others, I wouldn't get too worked up: it's more about mundane garbage ("preserving the spirit of financial disclosure processes in the context of international capital market access") - nerd sh*t.
