"We stood up to Big Tech, and now Big Tech is trying to punish the country for that! Are you with us, or with Big Tech?"
I wonder how long people would be willing to go without Facebook or Instagram.
My point is, attempts to punish people in order to get them to put pressure on their own governments usually backfire.

On a different note: who do you think has been making the death threats to Trump's appointees? Right-wingers who think Trump's showing signs of being a bit further left than they're comfortable with?
Self-referential signatures are for people too boring to come up with more interesting alternatives.

That idea sounds a bit too convenient for me. People on the Left can do bad things, too.

Thing is, death threats are more the Right's style.
