Zuckerberg is behind it, just like he was when they banned it on India. Politicians get what they want by eliminating a company that doesn't support them, Meta gets more usershare in the U.S. they can control the narrative and keep their guys in place so they don't get regulated and they get more tax breaks.

It's ok because USA is doing it too. Every state, every politician is basically the same. It's all about violent control of the planet. These apps are just the tip of the iceberg.
