Nothing says American Freedom than interfering in how other governments conduct policy so you can push your own platform full of fake users and perpetual lies.
What an embarrassment. Maybe it's time said governments start just banning or outlawing these platforms if they're just going to flagrantly admit to doing what they can to bypass the law. Fuck em. As much as I hate tiktok the whole 'rules for thee but not for me' shtick is old.
- Yeul 2y agoAmericans take it as an article of faith that everyone wants to live like they do. It must be utterly demoralising for anyone working at the US State department right now.

America, China, Russia and to a far lesser extent Japan and South Korea all have outsized political interference power upon other countries through the various social networks that operate out of them. Any country with a desire to safeguard domestic politics against foreign interference and influence should be banning them without question and it should not be controversial.
- catlikesshrimp 2y agoDepends. My country doesn't moderate social networks in any way. Instead, it profiles people. Nationals who are not behaving get called, foreigners are turned in the border. As expected, our posts are complying, you would think we live in Switzerland
- coldpepper 2y agoFully agree. It's high time each own country had sovereign platforms.
- empiricus 2y agoI find your trust in politicians disturbing.
