It's a little bit naive and self destructive that human beings have created tools as powerful as mainstream social media with absolutely no checks or balances, absolutely no accountability, absolutely no transparency, and entirely at the whims of billionaire owners and nation states they're in bed with.

Regulating and banning social media that is being used to blatantly conduct massive psyops should be uncontroversial.

It would be, if those same billionaire owners didn't pull the politician's puppet strings.

But muh TikTok!!!

And also: it's racist to ban social media platforms.....or whatever......I don't know. Whatever garbage is usually spewed anytime a platform that leans heavily left is about to get shut down.
