We need both. We just all witnessed as the US government sponsored a genocide, all US controlled outlets banned pro-Palestinian posts. We see how American platforms such as twitter, Facebook, etc are becoming more and more right-wing leaning and you want more of that?
Didn’t Congress pass a law? How can trump just randomly pass an EO? And we supposedly live in a democracy. Wonder which crony will trump help facilitate a sell
You can’t care about more than one thing in this instance. The same corporate interests that want to ban any media outlets that they directly control or influence are the same people who are influencing politics to make you a wage slave with no rights. You know, like Elon musk.
But your dumbass is worried about Muslims in china. Your brain doesn’t work

Trump is gonna buy half of Tik Tok Jihadi and turn into MAGA tok. The CEO or whatever is going to his inauguration and personally thanking him. But we know you don’t care about that you fakkit foreign agent.
typical right wing buffoon, given Trump history and how transactional he is. and how does one man making a call circumvent a law, you just take his word as gospel as there no alterior motive to it.

Foreign media coverage of what’s going on in the US, sure. There’s the BBC, Euronews, etc.
But foreign ownership, can’t get with that. For me, it’s the macro level principle of things.
The BBC being owned by Elon Musk would never fly in the UK.
The game of empire has to put national interests first. The right-wing leaning issue is more so a microlevel issue within the US.
Same way China doesn’t allow American companies like Visa and Mastercard operate in China. You can’t have your citizens payment transaction infrastructure tied to the operations of a foreign entity. Same thing for media.
Here’s how each member of the House voted on the foreign aid bills.

How the House Voted on Foreign Aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
While all Democrats voted in favor of aid to Ukraine and all but Ms. Tlaib supported funding to Taiwan, 37 left-leaning Democrats defected to vote against the Israel aid bill. They said before the vote that they opposed unfettered aid to Israel that could be used in its offensive in Gaza. The opposition to the Israel aid represented a minority of Democrats, but reflected the deep resistance to unconditional aid and the divisions in the party on Gaza. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland represented a notable new “no” vote among Democrats, and other standouts included Representatives Donald S. Beyer Jr. of Virginia, Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and John Garamendi of California.
Still, 37 “no” votes, while a break from Washington’s ironclad support for the Jewish state, fell short of the opposition bloc progressives had hoped to muster. Thirty-nine Democrats had voted “no” on Friday on the rule to allow the foreign aid package to come to the House floor, a target that progressives just missed on Saturday on the Israel bill. Fourteen of those Democrats voted on Saturday in favor of aid to Israel, while 12 Democrats who voted to allow the package on the floor on Friday then cast votes against the funding itself.

The benefit of foreign ownership in media companies is that you get narratives that your government doesn’t allow. If you don’t want foreign ownership then you’re effectively saying you only want to be exposed to pro-government propaganda.
The biggest threat to your existence in America are right wing extremist, not the Chinese government. You should be more worried about the influence twitter has on white Americans than the influence TikTok has on American teenagers.
Twitter as we speak is pushing right wing extremist propaganda and these people are dangerous.

That’s not a good example. Its like a UK citizen having access to BBC but then wanting twitter banned because it’s not owned by a UK citizen or the UK government.
