I feel like the TikTok ban is only the start.
The US is pissed that it couldn’t 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They’ve already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of “stopping misinformation”
I feel like we’ve already been seeing it with deplatforming and shadow banning, but the real kicker has been the social cooling due to surveillance and individual social anxiety. More to come is expected imo
