If you think it’s US security interest to enact sweeping bans you are welcome to believe that as far as I’m concerned, but you don’t get to have it both ways and also go on about “free country” nonsense in same paragraph. Pick one and own up to it.
What I’m on about is that you don’t get to yap about freedom while simultaneously advocating for sweeping bans that apply to all citizens in a completely undemocratic manner. Whether the app sucks or is dangerous is completely besides the point.
Silencing would mean banning all social media. You are still free to join another social media app and can even talk shit about trump with no censorship. I get to yap!
