Just wait 'til truth.social and xitter run the country. Wouldn't be surprised if TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, MySpace, WeChat, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Discord and Tumblr all get banned.

Honestly, I don't see any downsides to this. Tiktok and Instagram are horrible platforms that are actively hurting, and in some cases killing, young teens. Sure, they did it for propaganda reasons, but that doesn't mean it's not a net positive.

I hope that Europe will follow soon.
Yeah, normally I would say fuck the government, but in this case it's exactly the same as the people who got pissy about Juul getting in trouble for targeting children. I'm all for "freedom to choose", as long as whatever it is you're choosing isn't directly targeting kids with something that has an actively detrimental effect on their health, and that's being tracked as an emergent medical problem by psychiatrists around the world.
