another read is that they're not banning Facebook nor anything like that

but the Trump administration and the current USG.

it's a move against the American Culture AND government

This is an enforcement of legislation passed in 2023, so unlikely to be connected to Trump.

e: Well, unlikely to be connected to the current admin; it does target misinfo which was a big media focus surrounding the elections in 2016/2020
