I hear you. But if you don't want your kids to be spied on don't let them use the technology you think is facilitating this invasion of privacy. Id rather decide for myself and my family rather than outsource that responsibility to the government who can use this as a precedent to start censoring content I do think is beneficial for me and my family.

Well, unlike a lot of people in this space, I actually think we need to protect our institutions in order to protect liberty. I think the people who argue the government should have no power to mediate any of these issues, are literally the useful idiots of authoritarians around the world.

I do believe that governments will always have a role to play in society. I would be happy to have a trusted institution meditate these types of issues.

The problem I have is due to the level of corruption currently in our highest levels of government I do not have trust in the federal government institution. Further, I don't see them trying to "meditate" anything, they are simply deciding what their citizens should and should not be allowed to see.

How is forcing the sale of TikTok to a U.S. successor owner doing that, exactly?

Are you saying that you don't believe that the federal government is pressuring US based social media platforms to censor content to align with their narratives?
