No, we are afraid, rightly, about the intentional pushing of misinformation and propping up of divisive content by foreign adversaries whose goal is not to spread ideology, but only to sow discontent in the U.S.

It isn’t fear of “communism.” It is concern about bad actors intentionally using social media to destroy institutional trust.

Are you fucking kidding me? Misinformation and divisive content by foreign adversaries is already all over Meta and Twitter. They're using national security as an excuse to remove the oligarchs' competitors and nothing more.
