    we

    Don’t go around assuming everyone is American

    it’s just that we don’t

    There’s a a lot of laws binding those companies and then there’s everything going on behind closed doors which people aren’t told about. I’m sure they’re already doing a lot of policing when it comes to narrative, data, all that sort of things. Why they let Russians act so freely, I’m not sure, I think there might’ve been an ideological or political reason behind that.

    It’s like how American movies and shows are pushing certain narratives. I doubt there’s need for any laws and public acts to make it so, rather it’s just understood and things happen behind closed doors. How much the US can control foreign, especially say Chinese media productions, of course it’s going to be less capable of doing that.

    Trump for example has bullied social media companies to do as he says without official acts, just threats and fear of possible action. Easier to bully local companies than foreign ones.
