There isn't this much fuss about the foreign ownership of physical and broadcast media laws.

Is the difference really about whether you can post on the platform or not?

I think that’s a huge difference, yes. And about what apps my phone is able to download, and what servers it is able to access.

Another huge difference is broadcasting is about usage of a shared resource and has always had regulations on who is allowed to do what. They don’t ban RT from setting up their own venue or printing a newspaper. RT and other outlets are able to operate in the US and people are able to chose to watch them.

Why is it a huge difference? If you want absolute free speech places like 4chan will offer far more freedom than even TikTok ever would.
