    Exactly! The biggest documented case of foreign influence on Americans happened through Meta’s Facebook, a US company now cozying up to the incoming administration. This isn’t about security—it’s about protecting monopolies and silencing competition. Real concern would mean regulating behavior, not banning rivals.

      As a democracy, its probably a bad idea to have one of your biggest content-distribution-algorithm controlled by an antagonistic Nation.

        as a democratic nation its probably a bad idea to allow a small number of businesses to control content distribution. Apps should be regulated based on their actions and practices, not national origin.

        disinformation does not become a good thing when produced domestically.
