How will you react when other countries start banning Meta/Twitter with the same argument?

America's adversaries have already banned Meta/Twitter, what's your point?

The word "Adversary" is literally the most important word of GP's sentence. They're a country that we're in a cyber cold war with, and they have god mode control over our public opinion.

It would make about as much sense to let Moscow buy spectrum in the 1950s and broadcast TV directly to every American's home. In what universe does that make even the slightest bit of sense?

> broadcast tv directly to every Americans home

To take this further, they would be beaming specific content tailored individually for each American.

This is why social media is so damaging for foreign adversaries to control. They’re beaming personally tailored propaganda.

I would love my country to ban Instagram and Twitter. No need for American propaganda.

Ok

Edit: from your comment history it looks like you’re from turkey. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if turkey banned instagram/fb/X. In fact I’m kind of surprised they haven’t already.
