    If we ban social media companies* we won’t.

    Privately owned social media is a tool of media manipulation. You can change the weights of some inscrutable algorithm and boost exposure to political ideologies that you want while no one can truly make a case against you, “it’s just the algorithm” they say. There’s no scenario where they should be allowed to exist in a sovereign country.
