I hear what you're saying but another way of saying that could be "the government can develop it's own more and sense of self" And do we really want the government in charge or that.

I don't see them banning Facebook, the originator of algorithmic social engineering. Wasn't Obama cheering on the Arab spring? That didn't happen through tiktok.

Instead of the government deciding what I see for our "protection", how about they keep people actually informed and let people protect themselves. Isn't that the whole idea behind #Bitcoin?
