“National security” is such a bs term for US govt to avoid transparency. It comes from the post 9/11 era of FISA courts, PATRIOT act to justify wide net domestic surveillance and wiretapping.

To me, the whole banning of TT is political theater aimed to divide the US while existing tech oligarchs consolidate power and money.

Just look at the message TT broadcasted. Blatant pandering of incoming administration.




I agree. This is a forced consolidation that will only strengthen American tech oligarchs and the new administration. It's also coup on the culture of the younger generations similar to what happened to Twitter.
