Assuming Lula wins reelection one of the principal concerns of the country's national security interests should be banning U.S.-owned social media companies.

This is what really gets me. If you think the debasification strategy was disastrous for the U.S. in this war with Iran, imagine how devastating it would be in all the random pacific and regional bases that China would instantly level because they've already spent all their interceptor munitions during a MONTHS long conflict with seemingly no route to a meaningful resupply in any non-years timeframe.

The idea of a hot war with China is so farcical at this point that's it's comical.

Unless the U.S. just decides to end the world in a nuclear apocalypse because honestly that seems on-mission for religious fanatics like Vance. It's terrifying that Rubio might actually be the voice of "reason" in that room.

Generally great idea, but the screen size invalidates it for me. Hope they're successful enough to launch a 2nd round with a 6"+ screen

Lemmy development being principally led by explicit communists should help a lot too. I do imagine that instances more aligned with the western spy states will have issues eventually, but hopefully their users will migrate to less censored places over time.

Now if the full western firewall gets created that's gonna be rough for users. I don't envy VPNs who are actually privacy-focused trying to breach that.
