Do it. Let the US be a closed censored state like it desperately wants to be.
They'll even put the hashtag #freespeach when they deliver their ban.
Free speech means the government will let citizens criticise them or communicate other political opinions without sanctions. It does not mean they can't ban one channel of communication when they are worried foreign actors use it to take advantage of the citizens. There are plenty other channels through which the citizens can communicate their opinions.
It's a .ml tankie, they only care because it's a Chinese company, guaranteed if it was like a UK company or something they wouldn't say a word about it lmao
“Worried foreign actors use it to take advantage if the citizens” you mean like Cambridge analytica and facebook? Yet all the government did to them is go after their competitors and give them more power. How strange.
Yall are so thirsty for the boot because its currently stepping on the evil boogeyman our government has trained us to hate
Especially now that trumps coming into power its shocking so much people on here are excited for the government to shut down an app. What makes yall think they wont target lemmy/mastadon/etc once theyre the apps being used show people the genocides being commited by the US and israel
those were not foreign. that is where the US government and law drew the line.
Yeah which is just xenophobic and dumb and doesnt protect Americans. We need comprehensive data protection laws and transparent algorithms not laws that help monopolies gain even more power to manipulate us
🧊 🍑
Do it. Let the hate flow through you.
How many western apps are banned in west Taiwan, anyway?
Should Facebook be banned in China?
Facebook should be banned everywhere.
It already is, and yes.
Already is, but should we compare US and China in terms of censorship?
Don't tell me, a .ml user came here to complain about whataboutism.
Dumn liberals, only tankies get to do concern trolling and whataboutism.
Lol, I've no idea what .ml user even means. I chose an instance with no second thought. They just had a Stardew Valley community I liked.
noooo not the cringe app!! everything but the cringe app
