Seems TechDirt's take on Biden's TikTok ban is similar to mine;
"Enacting this legislation has undermined this long standing, democratic principle. It has also undermined the U.S. government’s moral authority to call out other nations for when they shut down internet access or ban social media apps and other online communications tools."
Warum versammeln sich Menschen vor ihren Endgeräten, um bis zu 26 Teilnehmende aus diversen europäischen Ländern, ja Australien liegt ganz nah bei Europa, live zu sehen & zu hören?
Keine Ahnung … das kannst du der Generation #TikTok auch nicht mehr vermitteln! Dazu ist deren Aufmerksamkeitsspanne auch viel zu kurz! #esc2024
A must-read article from Anne Applebaum. It has been obvious for a while that pro-Trump social media is mostly foreign propaganda. The irony of using “America First” to sabotage America is no doubt something foreign trolls find amusing.
Fear, cynicism, nihilism, and apathy, coupled with disgust and disdain for democracy: that is what modern autocrats sell and there are far too many people falling for it.

A little boy consoles his mother grieving over the death of another son. #gaza Why people who want this killing rampage to end are called terrorist sympathizers? The US Congress and #Biden wants #tiktok banned to keep Americans from seeing clips like this one.
Watch this clip and you can understand why the US Congress wants to ban #tiktok. You can almost feel the impact of the bombing. As Mitt Romney has frankly admitted in his conversation with Anthony Blinken at McCain Institute, TikTok challenges the official narrative. There are hundreds & hundreds of clips of dead, maimed & orphaned kids and mothers screaming over their kids' destroyed bodies #rafah
A fmr White House aide who worked closely w/ #Trump returned to the stand to testify about a significant meeting between Trump & #MichaelCohen his personal lawyer that is at the center of Trump’s #criminal trial.
Blanche asks if Longstreet has reviewed Cohen’s TikTok account. Blanche doesn’t ask anything further clearly not seeking to get Longstreet to actually address the TikToks, but to get the jury wondering about them.
