Lemmy is not a United States adversary with a history of spying on foreign intelligence. If it was, I sure as fuck wouldn't be on it!

What if the government decided Lemmy was a dangerous (communist ?) platform that needs to be shutdown? This is a matter of censorship, however the outright open market for our data from all platforms is the elephant in the room here.

Well, I would expect there to be some shred of evidence that it is dangerous to the security of the United States. We have LOADS of evidence of that for TikTok.

And if no one cares about your expectations because now it's been done before so if it's being done again it must be for good reason?

So Facebook is getting banned?

Facebook is an American company. Are you ok? Can you read?

An american company that sells data to foreign intelligence so they can manipulate the public. Facebook is a way bigger threat to peoples freedom than TikTok but the CCP boogeyman has y’all in a chokehold so you’re distracted from the real threat
