amazing how even leftists will cheer on the tiktok ban thing in the US when if you actually look into the bill and/or further arguments the ultimate goal is to push out competitors of tech monopolies in the US. it refers to social media from countries that may cause national security concerns. except the arguments are entirely based on (mostly marco rubio's) hypothetical situations and not hard evidence. so this is basically saying "just trust the US government when it comes to moderating surveillance", as if that hasn't already been proven to be a terrible idea.
a while back I remember seeing ads on youtube saying you shouldn't support the breakup of tech monopolies because of "national security concerns"...i'm sorry, is there real agenda not fucking obvious enough for you yet???
this galaxy brain take managed to get published so i think we may have a ways to go
to be fair this makes sense when you read the wikipedia page for reason magazine
