I suggest they start with Yandex and see how that goes for them.
The bad part is really all the typical big tech social media will just do all this moderation and such for them while bowing down and saying "yes, master." Then a few years from now a flood of normies, "Well of course I am happy to give my identity to use a website, and it's a good thing that I am monitored in case I wrongspeak."

People don't like this idea because it's more "big government" or unfair to the poor corporations, but this is why we need to use our competing power structure (USgov) and make it illegal for US companies to comply with their laws. We're letting other countries work together and bully our people like the mafia. In Japan when the government wanted to crack down on the yakuza they made it illegal for private businesses to pay them protection money. Yes it hurt in the beginning, but eventually it broke the rackets because the yakuza had a harder time forcing anyone to comply if they would get punished for doing so. Sure if a foreign nation still keeps harassing our citizens and they get squeezed from both directions, we can pull out bigger guns like tariffs and sanctions, but if you don't apply any incentive from our side the corporations will always cuck out at the slighted pressure. This also needs to apply to advertising boycotts IMO.
tl;dr US first amendment needs to be forced on X so when India or UK asks Elon to delete 10,000 problematic accounts he can say "Sorry I have to follow American law."
Even alternatives like Rumble essentially pulled out of the French & Brazilian markets entirely over government censorship requests way less intrusive than this.
Even Elon & Twitter talked tough but folded overnight with that control freak judge in Brazil asking for critics to be doxed and deplatformed.
There is no opposition from big tech…Elon pretending to be opposed to censorship like he has is all part of the show. As we see the censorship ramp up, we are going to see even more controlled opposition right wing politicians and influencers pretending they’re fighting back against censorship but ultimately, they will fail to put a stop to the censorship because their job was to make you think you had some powerful people on our side fighting for your interests, when in reality, there was never any powerful people on our side. That’s how they prevent us from organizing real opposition movements they don’t control, movements that could easily shift into a serious problem for them. Their job is to keep us on the reservation with people like Trump and Elon, along with the Joe Rogans of the influencer world, etc. Real opposition movements will be censored to death or face a widespread coordinated campaign to slander those movements everywhere, especially among their paid shill right wing influencers, who will say the target group is all feds or whatever, until nobody wants to join them.
Well yeah, (((big tech))) and all (((western governments))) are on the same page, they’re all planning to implement the same draconian policies so there will be no pushback when it’s forced on the first western population. Our enemy will get their digital ID in place and soon after that, the social credit system will enslave everybody, UNLESS we are irate and very loud about our refusal to comply….we can force them to back down, at least in the U.S., if they see that a large number of us are so pissed off that they have to be concerned about what comes next from the general public. Do I think the general public has the motivation to force them to back down? No, but one can hope.

It should be illegal for US Companies to comply. That's a great idea. Huge fines if they comply.

It's not like he has armies or a police force to back him up.
