Because their less than free citizens aren't deemed smart enough to be free, which is EXACTLY what they're trying to do here, and succeeding. Do you think America's enemies weren't compromising the pony express? The telegraph wires? The radio waves? The TV? Cable news? The government and corrupt SCOTUS are really making the stand on a video platform, where 12 year old girls do dances? LOL. I watched an interview with a downed Tuskegee airmen who was interrogated by the Nazis. He said he couldn't even tell them anything they didn't already know about him. That was in the day/age when the card catalog was a fresh new idea. I can't get past the idea that you're failing to understand that your data is not safe, and is not a concern of Washington WHATOSEVER. Instead of "buying" their reasons, ask the real questions, like why is my already unsafe data safer w/o Tik Tok, and why is the SCOTUS pitching my freedoms aside for obvious bs.
