More gov't censorship and control over social media...

Good, maybe it'll drive people away from social media. Trumpism? 100% caused by social media. Anti-vaccine movement and COVID Denial? 100% social media driven.
Social media has killed more people in the last decade than anything else. Facebook and TikTok will be the downfall of our civilization as we know it.

Lmao people still on that russiagate shit. No, memes did not make Trump a thing. America was already a really racist country, and they put that up against an infamous neoliberal hag. Of fucking course you guys were going to vote him in. Who outside astroturf wanted to vote Hillary?

Yeah driven by the social media that competes with TikTok. Now all that is going to be available to Americans will be the platforms that bias right wing content.

Ohh shut down lemmy shit next! It's so comical to see lemmy and reditus bitching any social media and clapping for this.

If you're in support of this shit you should be applauding us universities right now.

Isn't that exactly what the fed you're on does? Whole lot of witchhunting communists, screaming about defedding this, that, and the third, and all in all, running a nazi bar McCarthy could be proud of? Methinks you don't apply your own 'principles' consistently.
