      They’ve been trying to censor our access to the Internet for about twenty years.

          Yeah, that’s still blocking but with extra steps and trying to avoid the blame.

              My former country PRC literally blocks all porn even if they involve consenting adults.

              That’s the end goal, they just can’t go there too fast.

      Well one difference is that the US still have free access to most of the internet.

      To most of the internet expect to the stuff that they don’t want you to see.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit

      “Lavabit is an open-source encrypted webmail service, founded in 2004. The service suspended its operations on August 8, 2013, after the U.S. Federal Government ordered it to turn over its Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) private keys, in order to allow the government to spy on Edward Snowden’s email.”

          Protonmail survived.

          Why do you think they survived?

          I mean to be honest, unless you live in a law-less society.

          We already live in a law-less society, the president of the most powerful country in the world is a pedo.

            Not just a pedo, but someone who actively engaged in sexual abuse of children.

      Not to tiktok, and I’m sure bans and censorship will be extended to other forms of media that manage are effective at counter-messaging US propaganda when they can’t simply target the creators or dominate the platform with bots.
