Shit site, but not a legal precedent we want to be setting.

The biggest problem is them doing illegal shit like scanning all your photos instead of just what you pick

Yup, I only want to see American social media! Because it has no propaganda!

It's less about that and more about stopping an extremely powerful attack vector currently active in your own country.

Literally the biggest reason why the western world is in such a giant political crisis is the weaponization of social media.

Social media 15 years ago: cat pics and friends.

Social media today: shit you didn’t subscribe to, but shows up anyway to push wedge issues in to things you enjoy.
