We are currently at war with the owner of the website. We have justification for banning something that can be used against us in that war.
It would be like continuing to use American Air defense systems against the Americans in a full scale war.
While I agree we just need better legislation overall, I also think banning specific American social media is a smart move for everyone involved considering they are all in Trumps pocket.
We shouldn’t be using products and services of hostile foreign nations. This isn’t a freedumb or mahrights thing.
Yeah I haven’t watched much TV since twenty years ago, forgot for a moment how tightly regulated broadcasting is. By contrast, nobody has even talked about banning the RT web site. For the most part, banning the use of foreign websites is something only autocratic censorship-heavy states are in the business of doing. Canada’s one attempt to block some random for-profit pirate streaming site that almost nobody had heard of was dangerous enough.

Would you ban the broadcast of CBS News as well?
Don’t ask questions already answered. It makes you look bad.
We banned RT from cable. A bit different mind.
I agree though, just tighten up privacy and reduce the ability to manipulate.
