Public Discussion: TikTok & Twitter Ban

Invited: Everyone and especially @RTP

_*_*_*_*_*__

Would you support a ban on both platforms?

I'll say yes in advance. I see both platforms as propaganda tools, TikTok (directly under the control of a communist government) spies on us all and Twitter fails to comply with moderation obligations [at least in the EU]. Hate speech and fake news have dominated Twitter since Musk took over.

How do you view the issue? If I may make a guess, then you are against a ban on the platforms because you are an absolutist in freedom of expression.

Do you think it's okay if Musk, as a future government official, can continue to be part of Twitter? And Trump of Truth Social? I don't know what American law says about this, but I have a strange gut feeling when the president and ministers literally control and own "the media" (parts of it).
