So funny to see how a media campaign gets so many sheep following and beleiving without questioning. All they have to scream is fascist repadidly and sheep will repeat.
While government was in control of Twitter and silenced and censored harvard educated doctors and professors about Covid to push the vaccine and make billions, nobody screamed Twitter was fascist. Or did you forget the twitter files? Suddendly twitter is bad once gov censorship is gone but Facebook/Threads is ok because things gov wants to censor is being censored.
I'm not saying social media is not bad and yes, needs to be controlled but seriously use a little bit of your brain before blindly repeating someone else's words. Learn history, see a bit from other angles and maybe think a bit why Twitter is being singled out right now.
Social media is bad but lack of critical thinking is way way worse.

I mean, it's a controversial one but if citizens want it then why not? I see some people here saying that banning it would be a bad decision for the government but in case of a petition, they're not doing it because they want to but because their voters told them to.
Also I don't have much against such a radical approach to improving privacy. Most people nowadays can't be made to care or do something. They can only be forced. Though such enforcement can make them vote against that government but that's up to demographic researchers to analyze.
