Why is it contentious that a government can better curb foreign interference if it is done on a domestic platform? Regardless of how shitty the United States are that’s a simple fact and also practiced by China, only to a much greater extent.
I have no horse in the race, I’m not an American. I don’t know or really care to what extent the corrupt shithole that is America can control its own corporations due to regulatory capture. That’s your own problem to fix.
All I’m arguing is that from the perspective of the us government it makes perfect sense to be wary of foreign influence before its own corps.
Didn’t tiktok just accidentally prove the American legislator's argument by causing mass calls into the legislators office or something? Endless amounts of people who don’t even know why they are calling, just because "tiktok said so". Are you telling me that isn’t a disturbing implication?
we need more foreign influence in the US. USonians live in a bubble
