I appreciate the thought behind this, but I don’t see how it would work when India would not saddle their own social media with the same antitrust restrictions.

I appreciate the thought behind this, but I don’t see how it would work when India would not saddle their own social media with the same antitrust restrictions. Imagine the Indian equivalent to TikTok or whatever, which would be (by virtue of being huge and having better network effects) competing against a field of weaker American competitors. You could of course ban the foreign product, but that feels like we’d just be trading one type of censorship for another. Also, I suspect the US likes a monolithic YouTube from a “iPod diplomacy” perspective - being the cultural centre of the world is an advantage!
