> “not living in Soviet Russia”

Nothing screams "fear mongering" like comparing with living in Soviet Russia.

Look, we can argue all day. There is no right or wrong answer. I don't fully support the govts initiative but I also don't want Meta/X/Google to have unlimited powers like they do in the US.

Various large US tech companies played a central role in drafting this initiative. I don't think you're reasoning about this clearly.

How exactly does this curtail their powers?

Can you explain how limiting a regular citizen's freedom constrains Meta/X/Google's power?
