Banning it just causes them to be the victim.

Put a massive tax on all of the multinational american leech corporations that control our media. Musk isn't the cause of the problem, he's a symptom of it.

You can't think like this anymore. We are dealing with fascists. We are bordering Germany pre-WWII. Any nonviolent action that will give us an advantage in a theoretical conflict is necessary.

Who cares if they're perceived as the victim? People will forget about Twitter within 6 months if it's blocked, and during that time, the propaganda machine takes a hit.

I do believe we have a system for that now thought the digital tax act that JT and the liberals along with the NDP AND bloc pushed through. Allows us to levy taxes on tech companies and I think it was meant for exactly this
