all the typical big tech social media will just do all this moderation and such for them while bowing down and saying "yes, master."

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."
