You mean that only media and information approved by some EU bureoucrats be allowed here? Well, there was no need to tear down the wall 35 years ago for that.

Tiktok is clearly a civilizational weapon wielded by the enemies of the west, freedom, and democracy. 5th generational warfare.

And Facebook etc. are a weapon being wielded by the US. That's just as bad. If you allow one side but not the other, you are living in an authoritarian state.

I don't think banning outright is the solution, but I do think that social media has a tremendous amount of power and can impact things like elections if you have control over the recommendation algorithm on one of these sites.

I think more transparency into how these recommendation algorithms work is required especially when it comes to elections, as well as mechanisms to verify that they aren't being tampered with.

Sure, if they also ban Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Otherwise, they are choosing sides. That's not a democratic system, but deciding what people can read and do (and think) as they do the exact same thing but for the “other side”.
