It's also an attempt to keep various malefactors such as America, Russia, Israel, China, etc out off the propaganda efforts driving a large amount of far right nationalists into violent uprising.
reply
No, it's not. The biggest foreign actors driving far right nationalism are people like Rupert Murdoch, Andrew Tate and going forwards potentially Jeff Bezos. Murdoch has been the single biggest driver for decades. If they would truly be interested in stopping foreign propaganda they'd go after them instead.

It's especially ironic to name China when the whole reason the US bought TikTok is because it showed people the reality of the genocide in Gaza, which the far right nationalists hated.

You might not be from Europe then. Russia is the primary threat. They are funding extremist political movements. They are also conducting sabotage and espionage operations inside the EU.

These are true. They also don't have much to do with what I replied to, which was about "the propaganda efforts driving a large amount of far right nationalists into violent uprising."

You're simply misinformed if you believe that Russia-originated propaganda has played a bigger role in the rise of right-wing extremism in Europe over the last 10 years than Rupert Murdoch (and yes, I'm aware News Corp's assets are all in English), the Anglo manosphere including the likes of Andrew Tate, and Meta, Google (Youtube) and X intentionally designing their algorithms for outrage/engagement at all costs.

Russia wishes it would have as much influence as the above.

reply
It obviously does. 2016 was a sterling example of the far right extremists in America fertilzing the ground for Russian influence campaigns.

They're going hand in hand, that's how fascism works, corporate interests align with government authority.

But this scheme will give all the control to the US. They own the master key.

Are you just not paying attention to the dissolution of democracy or are youjust like, cool with money being the only protected thing.

What? What does it have to do with mandatory hardware attestation? You just built your strawman by tying the two with 0 proof that they are related. You can argue for any measure and then say that it's somehow to save us from some bad event, it doesn't make it true. The patriot act was a reaction to 9/11. It doesn't make that reaction valid.
