They sell so much of this National Security wrapping paper, I'm surprised it never runs out. Remember when they wrapped the Iraq war with it?

But muh freedom fries

Don't forget anti-China

Ugh don't get me started on the Chinese with their darn kung fu

Is that a thing?

It's the whole impetus behind the TikTok ban

It’s been a thing ever since Obama’s “pivot to asia”.

I was hoping Everett True would show up and punch out both of them.

Yup, that's why I'm here and not on reddit anymore. Got perma-banned for speaking against the genocide in Gaza.

For real though.

Might be more accurate if they traded places.
-
Yarrr, let's make it both.
-
Just give all the control to a psychotic billionaire and Russia. They'll be fine.
Also remember.. friends don't let friends use Twitter.

Deadname companies, not people.

E2e is not yet illegal, is it for you?
Not yet, but not for a lack of politicians trying. So far the european court has done its job and also some countries have stalled.
From having lived in several European countries I get the impression that the Press being pretty much just partisan Propaganda generally it's not as common as it seems to in the USbe, with the notable exception of Britain (were it's pretty bad all around except the Private Eye which is actually a satirical magazine).
That said, the way for example Orban entrenched his control of Hungary was by controlling the Press.
This might be at least partly why in Europe the Far Right rose outside mainstream parties but in the US it rose inside them (and, curiously, in the UK it started outside, then was picked up by one of the mainstream parties at which point it really took off).
Even if it is made law, it still require legal determination by a competent authority. Such a law can simply be considered ultra vires, since it is not constitutional in a democracy.
