It doesnt have to be pro CCP. All they have to do is slightly boost anti US or anti Israel or anti Ukraine and it is the same thing. Slowly boiling the frog by boosting fringe voices and promoting them as common views.
- theshackleford 3y agoYes and for this reason I support a similar ban in my country of large scale American owned social media. Given they are all guilty of the above claims. What the American owned social networks have done to my countries populace, including its youth, is nothing short of a disaster. It’s induced complete brain rot.
- eppp 3y agoWe should ban it here too but they have too much money for that to happen unfortunately.
- krapp 3y agoPromoting fringe voices is perfectly legitimate, both in terms of politics and free speech. That is literally how all social progress comes about. It's also how we elected our previous President. Like it or not, those are the rules of the game.
- phs318u 3y agoI take issue only with your use of the word 'progress'. 'Change' certainly.
- parthianshotgun 3y agoChange in the firmament of free ideas and free association, surely that's better than the alternative
- eppp 3y agoWe absolutely do not have to allow our geopolitical enemies to do it on our soil to our citizens.
- yencabulator 3y agoIt doesn't even have to be anti-US, all it needs to do is make the factions inside the US fight each other even more. Push two sides that are both "pro-US". That is, after all, also how CIA overthrows governments...
- ta_9390 3y agoThis kind of argument can be used to censor anything deemed controversial.
- r00fus 3y agoLots of people in the US are anti-Israel and anti-Ukraine spending. Many are also against the current US government's actions. Are they "pro-CCP"? Honestly, you think anyone who disagrees with the regime are tankies?
