Yes and for this reason I support a similar ban in my country of large scale American owned social media. Given they are all guilty of the above claims.

What the American owned social networks have done to my countries populace, including its youth, is nothing short of a disaster. It’s induced complete brain rot.

We should ban it here too but they have too much money for that to happen unfortunately.

Promoting fringe voices is perfectly legitimate, both in terms of politics and free speech. That is literally how all social progress comes about. It's also how we elected our previous President. Like it or not, those are the rules of the game.

I take issue only with your use of the word 'progress'. 'Change' certainly.

Change in the firmament of free ideas and free association, surely that's better than the alternative

We absolutely do not have to allow our geopolitical enemies to do it on our soil to our citizens.

It doesn't even have to be anti-US, all it needs to do is make the factions inside the US fight each other even more. Push two sides that are both "pro-US". That is, after all, also how CIA overthrows governments...

This kind of argument can be used to censor anything deemed controversial.

Lots of people in the US are anti-Israel and anti-Ukraine spending. Many are also against the current US government's actions.

Are they "pro-CCP"? Honestly, you think anyone who disagrees with the regime are tankies?
