I am in favor of banning X because it's run by someone who has threatened our sovereignty and, to be honest, a lot of people are pretty fucking dumb.
What about TikTok, Facebook or Reddit? One is operated by an adversarial government, one harbors and aids scammers to steal millions, and Reddit is 4chan light.
Banning platforms is not the answer, it opens the door to banning as an easy solution to any issue.
I don't advocate for banning any of those platforms (though I think Meta should be broken up due to being a monopoly) because they're not literal mouthpieces for one dude. X is essentially now Elon's blog and he has illegally interfered with the US election and is trying the same with other countries.
I guess, as an alternative to banning X, I'd settle for it being forced to be sold to someone else or just Elon Musk leaving the picture entirely.
He is the problem. He has too much influence and power.
He is a problem but people who vote based on what they read on Twitter were already going to be a wasted vote. Education at an early age on how to think critically, ask questions and find answers is how you mitigate this kind of crap.
So these people who education has already failed... is it helpful and healthy to expose them to the raw bullshit of a staunchly eugenicist nazi? Should we buy them all copies of mein kampf because it couldn't do any more harm?
