EU absolutely is a country.
An MP I really admire in Ontario is pushing for Elections Canada to protect our electoral process from the Grand Twit’s interference, so that’s something. I’d prefer a ban.
Even though the Proud crowd are big operators in Canada, banning Yankee social media would maybe help lower the ragebait volume a bit. Whatever makes a dent.
I know I’m not the target of this question, but as American I’d like to see the reverse. I wanna see more non American social media in the US.
No. That wouldn’t solve anything. What is needed are very harsh punishments for companies abusing their power / position, instead of the slap on the wrist they currently are.
It would remove the possibility of feed shaping algorithm bias for mass manipulation, and back doors for spying and sabotage.
It would achieve diversification of the social media landscape.
Instant yes.
I don’t know, but I really would like to see country specific social media.
Do you want nationalism? Because that seems like a good way to get it.
No I just mean having more local flavour in a platform might be fun.
It gets better when the nationalism gets to the socialist part
No I would not.
I’m from the US and live in Japan and I’d still support it. I don’t think it’s the solution, but putting all the big ones in time out would at least allow competition and allow finding means to address the real issues (paradox of intolerance, balancing free speech with some way to handle disinformation and the like, and probably more I’m not thinking of).
Nope
No
ON or IN ? It changes the meaning significantly.
No, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t be delighted to see Xitter and Meta burn. Ultimately, though, we need laws that require transparency and impartiality on the part of the owners, similar to the rules we have for television news outlets, and those rules need enforcing in no uncertain terms. It doesn’t matter, then, if the service is native or foreign.
Yes
All meta apps, they’re used for our government’s propaganda, yes.
Absolutely not. I’ll rather choose for myself which content I consume than have the government choose it for me.
Not banning any content, just the giant social media platforms with their purposely biased feeds. The content will reach non-banned social media and have a less biased weighting in feeds here.
Based.
And freepilled
