    I’m sorry to say this, but the web ≠ the internet and foreign services ≠ the internet. If it was a question of starting massive invasive national firewalls, or segmenting the national net away from the wider internet through either routing or physical separation, then we are in agreement.

    But tbh Twitter and Meta’s platforms should be carpet banned from Europe. Reddit can stay, and so can TikTok, but after the history both Mega and Musk’s Twitter has had, I think it’s perfectly defensible to tell them to fuck off - especially when they target vulnerable people who are impressionable, like the elderly.

    And please, no American “slippery slope” argument, because it should be added to the logical fallacies list.

      It IS a logical fallacy and it predates the US…

      What’s the name for the logical fallacy when you attribute a type of logical fallacy to the country that happened to name it?
