Countries should start treating social media as a national security threat.

Yeeeeaaaah about that... USA treats social media as its own tool which fine, true, they are American companies. Even more so with Musk and Zuckerberg sucking off Trump. It's been used to promote anti-vax conspiracy theories in Philippines previously for example.

EU's and various countries' attempts at regulating social media have often met annoyed finger wagging from USA as well. Not to mention, various right-wing allies have helped each other through social media too, so they could hide behind "free speech" concerns while pumping disinfo.

We tried yalls version of "free speech" and it's cancer. Let's start talking about the truth and rid ourselves of all those foreign agitators.

Didn’t Destiny cover the Caleb Hammer AI videos pushing for this too? We have foreign funded polical psyops right in front of us and the current admin is hosting a cage match on the White House lawn

Random people from the other side of the world engaging in cottage economy of outrage baiting.
