A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

It’s not coincidental that the most left-leaning social media platform will be shut down and/or likely handed over to a more conservative owner.

RESTRICT Act - Wikipedia

Still astounded how people think that the government force-closing a social network that's literally used by 170 million people in the US is just fine or even good.

It would not surprise me if they go after VPNs next.
