I think his argument holds. We should apply the same standards to Meta. Zuckerberg has explicitly harmed our democracy. Let's treat all companies that are hostile and run by those that despise America with deep hostility (look no further than his private practices in Hawaii for examples). That's my personal opinion. The same standard is the most democratic path

I''m curious. Do you think it makes sense to treat an American company - one of the biggest btw, that pays taxes and creates jobs - the same way as a foreign company?

I am not sure I understand the question. All companies should be subject to the basic rules and requirements under the law. It absolutely holds that one company should not be specifically targeted, just because it upsets current political ecosystem. If the rules allow it to exist, then the same end result is perfectly possible with other participants.

But what is happening here is different. We are saying: we don't Z company so we are going to treat them differently from the other companies in the same space.

And I am saying this as a person with minimal social media footprint.
