You know, I used to think that locking down certain websites to citizens of the country the website resides in was a bad thing.
Now with the advent of all these apparent "bots", "state actors", etc. etc. I'm starting to think it might not be a bad idea.
There's a bunch of "what-ifs" however like "what if the government starts removing content it doesn't like", "should you be able to be banned from the platform?", etc.
At least within the US, I think sufficiently large platforms should not be allowed to censor on the basis of viewpoint. But that is exactly the kind of political question that nation states, not international forces, should be answering.
The biggest problem is we've allowed them to become so big they're capable of doing that. The rise of censor culture hasn't helped and is heaped on by advertisers and the media.
