....the same shit is on Facebook.

The same exact mindless drivel bullshit.

They don't care what the content or format is, just who owns it, and where the data is flowing. They want the data flowing into the U.S. and sold out. Rather than into China and sold out. That's all it is.

I get it, but also can you imagine a foreign country banning Amazon because "it means the US can see what you're up to and it gets to choose what deals to push at you" etc?

I mean.. Facebook for god's sake..

Being protectionist makes sense sometimes but it screws you over when other countries start banning your apps in favour of home grown alternatives..

The People's Republic of China has banned Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc). Brazil has banned Twitter and the European Union is considering it.
