I feel like the TikTok ban is only the start.
The US is pissed that it couldn't 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They've already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn't be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of "stopping misinformation"
Yes. Can't say I was able to imagine just a few years ago that by living in Europe an entire countrys web traffic is location banned from me without any actual consent of the people. And there was never even any discussion about it, they just did this because "misinformation".
