    I mean, I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but it’s a huge security risk to allow any non-european social network.

      I don’t think the origin is the site really matters as long as there is good oversight.

      We are at a very uneasy point:

      • platforms are private
      • platforms are trying to increase the amount of anger generated because that happens to increase their potential to show ads
      • platforms are gradually learning that too much anger destabilizes society which may eventually cut into their earnings (but some don’t care)
      • regulators are completely out of their depth, both at the breadth and the ever-changing nature of platforms

        You are right on those points, but it’s always easier to police/regulate local corporations than foreign ones since you have more tools at your disposal.

        With foreign networks, you can only really levy fines and ultimately threaten to ban them from the country.
