I agree with this, and it’s not hard to imagine a line between “national security risk” and the proliferation of communist/socialist-leaning content on the platform, especially by Americans. USA has such a long history of shutting down any conversation on the topic, and seeing 100k+ likes on a “mutual aid” video or similar likely rankles congresspeople.

I think all the pro-Palestine content was what pushed it over the top, but I’m not 100% sure on the timeline given Trump started the conversation in 2020 and is now poised to win political points by saving the day.

All around a total mess, and a big loss for free speech.
