Crazy how the federal government has the power to do this under Trump, but lacked the ability to rein these companies in for foreign misinformation under Obama and Biden.
And how Republicans lost their fucking minds when the Biden administration essentially said "hey Twitter I see you're not enforcing your own TOS on some of these covid misinformation users, could you do something about that?"
"Conservatives" when Democrat admin:
"OH MY GOD, CENSORSHIP FOR BEING A REPUBLICAN!!! WE NEED COMMITTEE INVESTIGATIONS! TWITTERGATE! THE TWITTER FILES!!!"
"Conservatives" when Republican admin:
"Teehee, censorship is good when it's against my enemy!"
The sale of tiktok to Larry Ellison was a Biden era project to censor speech about Israel that got coopted by Trump because they started it in like the last few months of Biden's presidency (because Israel was making him look bad). I think all of these assholes want to control speech on the internet, for different but equally stupid and evil reasons.
