Dude I’m an American and I would support a ban on American socially media in my country.

Considering they’re being actively and without denial used to fuck us over, yes. I’m not going to play the censorship card. The US is now no better than Russia, there’s no reason we should treat them better. US platforms are now literally an offensive weapon, Musk already started riots over fake news and is directly and openly meddling in our politics. This shit needs to stop. Just like we blocked RT news, this needs to go.

It’s in the same vein like Trump threatening military action against Greenland. Trump is literally committing extortion under the treat of war. The US is an actively hostile nation that targets everyone including their own allies. Like what the actual fuck? How did we get here? We need to decouple from the US as soon as possible. I’d go as far as compare the US to a ravid animal on the international stage, I’m absolutely mortified by what’s going on.

I heard there is talk of a projects for the EU to increase its digital sovereignty. Now would be a great time for those projects to come to fruition.

As for me, if this means that there’ll be an EU-wide reboot of Hyves, I’d be thrilled. Extra so if, on the back-end, it works on a Federated system.

At least anything that has anything to do with Trump or Muskyboi, yes.

I’m all for free speech but when it’s heavily skewed and unfairly moderated I support a ban. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and Xitter should just be removed.

absolutely. here’s the petition for EU: https://www.ban-x-in.eu/

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.

As a Brazilian, yes. I doubt anything halfway decent would show up instead, which probably sounds better

I didn’t need a ban. They enshitified and I moved on. All Meta apps (including WhatsApp) gone. X/Twitter gone. LinkedIn gone. Reddit gone.

Now I use Lemmy, Mastodon/BlueSky, and Signal.

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.

I’m americana and would definitely support a ban of American Social media in my country.

I’m American, and I would support a ban of American social media in my country.

As a Canadian, yes please. Their culture infiltrates ours so much that there are some people who believe in the American superiority and don’t understand that we’re two different peoples, with very different approaches to how we should live and treat others. Obviously, we Canadians are not perfect, and we have more in common than not but it’s disheartening to hear Canadians (including people in my own inner circle) view our country as nothing but the USA’s little bitch.

I get the world is sliding right, and our political pendulum definitely swings. But I worry that in the efforts to acknowledge the harms that we’ve done (and currently do) to people in our own country, that the backlash to those policies and acknowledgments will cause us to lose things that I’m proud of and freedoms that I enjoy.

I am so tempted, so tempted to write yes. But no, at the end of the day, I don’t think speech should be regulated like that. If we as a society don’t learn to distinguish truth from bullshit, democracy can’t survive.

EU absolutely is a country.

Also, fuck you.

In it’s current form? Absolutely. Optimizing for anger is not doing us any favours
