So you would have been fine with most of the world banning facebook, google, whatsapp, twitter, reddit and maybe others in the last 12 years?

  You mean what china did to Twitter, Facebook, Google.... This move is not without president. Look up the law on foreign ownership of traditional media... extending it to the web in this case, is a no brainer.

    Precisely what China did yes. To be precise I believe that China's requirements were mostly around using local datacenters and respecting censors, the US is actually going a step further even if only because it is ashamed of how much it needs to censors its warcrimes. > Look up the law on foreign ownership of traditional media The traditional media was an oligopoly and a very important gatekeeper of information. The internet is both of those things but in a less exclusive fashion.
