    (Not you OP, you = governments)

    You want to block corporate social media sites as propaganda

    I want to block corporate social media sites because they’re parasites on society.

    We are not the same.

      Im actually quite upset that lawmakers havent used this to pass generalized privacy protection.

      They have an opportunity to end mass survailance, but thats OK if its US survailance

        Our tools of social connection vs their tools of propaganda.

        Now fill in the possessive pronouns with either country and change them depending on the specific tool used.

        I don’t care what they are. I just think the internet in its current state sucks and I like the idea of there being less of it.

      What sucks is I’ve imagined a social media platform that was built with good intentions to actually better being people together and make their lives better. It’s one of the worst missed opportunities in recent memory.
