You don't seriously believe that social media is analogous to the printing press, do you? Because it's not, and it's so obviously not that I'm having trouble imagining what point you were trying to make relative to 1A. Because this isn't a 1A issue either, and it never has been.

If you must, this is like destroying foreign radio towers or something, where those radio towers have the ability to algorithmically predict what people want to listen to and then generate content tuned to affecting their state of mind, what they believe, and so on. So, yeah, blow 'em up.

TikTok gets people's ideas in front of other people. That's a printing press.

Cocaine has low calories, reduces appetite, and increases metabolic activity. That's a weight-loss supplement.

I unironically agree with both of you. William Randolf hearst was a thing, and the Catholic church definitely saw Martin Luther as a vile propagandist

Also cocaine and cigarettes definitely squelch your appetite and have historically been medically prescribed for such... It's just that we don't today

both things spun the world as we knew it as humans into chaos in one way or another, but despite the metaphor floating around this thread the printing press and social media are not equivalents.
