They are so very desperate to maintain control of the narrative and they are failing so hard…

So, actual "Free Speech"?

I always thought it was because people on TikTok organized that sold out empty Trump rally that one time. It seems like right after that they were talking about banning the app. The people just organized too quickly on it they said.

this feels like when we banned war photography after the Civil War because once people saw what war was actually like in media form, they all stopped supporting it https://www.hnn.us/article/photographing-war-dead-how-the-policy-has-changed-

It’s common sense it’s because of Israel. It is also common sense that Trump won as the bad cop Zionist needed to set America straight. This is all Israel. Not Russia, not China, Not Iran! Israel and their AIPAC.

the fact we still pretend america is all about democracy when they do literally everything to stifle it globally is wild.

themeekwarrior.bsky.social•178 days ago

We'll keep talking about it on every social media then. They can't shut them all down.

othervirginiaguy.bsky.social•179 days ago

TikTok is a trash fire of viral misinformation. Seems like we'll be better off without it.

So is literally every social media outlet my dude.

othervirginiaguy.bsky.social•179 days ago

Yeah bud. You put a bill to outlaw Twitter on the floor of the house and I'd call my congressman to vote for it.

gedaliah.xyz•179 days ago

Facebook? Instagram? Mastodon? Bluesky?

Weird how they single out the one they can’t control.

othervirginiaguy.bsky.social•179 days ago

Sure. Seems pretty clear that social media has been a massive net negative. Scrap the whole lot and restart with some better regulation.

gedaliah.xyz•179 days ago

Why not let the government control all flows of information? Why stop at social media? Why not television, movies, books? After all they might contain misinformation.

gedaliah.xyz•179 days ago

Yeah I <3 when the government bans media outlets.

perfectshark.bsky.social•179 days ago

I get to decide what misinformation is, buddy.

othervirginiaguy.bsky.social•179 days ago

Many people are saying

bigladydragon.art•177 days ago

One of my big fears is that the right wing govt will attempt to go after Bluesky next, they got Elon to essentially sabotage twitter as a place for left wing voices to gather and organize, how can we make sure they can’t do the same here?

messy57.bsky.social•178 days ago

Actually, no. They don't.

kuragari.bsky.social•178 days ago

Lawmakers are vile pieces of shit.
