Banning social media is not good and it’s something China would do. What we need is better education. If people want to give up all their data then let them do it, but they need to be informed about it.

    I understand the concerns, but why the fuck didn’t any American company take the opportunity to make a good competitor? Instead we get Elon and fucking X which is full enshittification. Now, instead of competition in the “free market” we get the government telling a Chinese company they need to sell or be banned. Fuck the Chinese government, but also fuck the American government for telling a Chinese company to sell to non-Chinese buyers. America is failing, we need education and competition, not bans.

      Obviously it isn’t a profitable venture. It is a data collection agent. Ergo the fuss.
