I thought this was going to be an outright ban. It isn’t. I’m still researching this topic but it’s not looking good.
They’re using arguments that make sense, “foreign entities infiltrating American freedoms for nefarious purposes.” We should see that as a threat.
But the bigger problem is allowing the government to police these apps/social media platforms. For now, they’re going to focus on the foreign based companies but eventually this will lead to any and all outlets of online media.
Everyone is a freelance reporter, they’ve lost control of information feeding. No one is really consuming news media like we’ve always known. The veil has been torn back and we see the reality of the lies being robotically fed to us from government media.
They’re going to dead that at some point. Slow roll out here, it seems. Maybe I’m just being overly dramatic but it’s definitely something to think about. But we can’t do anything at the end of the day.
