I'm thankful for Sunshine for posting this. She's a real one!

And I'm also thankful for those who have upvoted this post instead of some generic US politics one. Gives some very needed diversity to the front page.

Makes sense for any country tondo this because as has become clear, it doesn't matter if you're a democracy or a dictatorship, if you are liking musk and face or not, X and meta can and will destabilize your country and once it happens, there is nothing you can do about it except banning the entire site, which will be an unpopular choice.

Musk especially has shown to be all about himself and he'll just push whatever political right wing party to destabilize a country.

Fuck x, fuck Facebook
