Any government that isn’t banning Facebook or Twitter is basically sticking a “coup me” sign on it’s back

Hold the line, EU. The US cant hold out much longer. Once our recession hits, we will be too busy to bully you anymore.

American here: use the same approach that was used on Russia. It’s often frustratingly slow (e.g. Russia), but considering how the regime here is firing fucking anyone who isn’t sycophantic enough, and also considering that sycophants tend to be imbeciles, I don’t think you guys will have to wait that long.

The dicey part will come once the regime here realizes that everyone else in the western world is playing hardball. Whenever that happens is gonna be my wager for when Hesgeth tries to annex Greenland.

Imagine wanting a regime change, affecting hundreds of millions of people, just to be able to sell more advertising and gathering data in that area 🤦

The advertising is just a happy side effect that makes more money. The EU elected are trying to get there before them with chat control. If chat control passes, everyone will have access.

Good. If Trump doesn’t like our government, we must be doing something right. 🇪🇺
