    China: bad. X/Musk directly and openly interferes in UK and GER politics : move along, nothing to see.

    Its such a bullshit argument. Don’t be the pot blaming the kettle.

    We should ban ALL socials. All. Everything becomes an echochamber after 1-2 years filled with bots, algorithms and Ai. Nothing is trustworthy anymore.

      Note that I am not disagreeing. Just pointing out that not being able to trust anything anymore is on-brand.

      Nope.

      Other gov spying on yanks: bad with no mitigation.

      Yank companies spying on yanks: bad with mitigation option we just don’t take today.

      Both: PR and disinfo campaigns to convince illiterate that it’s about more than surveillance, that it’s a conspiracy or nothing to worry about at all (paging Dr Schroedinger).
