While I agree with your argument partially, I still find it ironic.

It assumes that we must prevent public from accessing some thoughts/propoganda as they may not be able to make right decision themselves. This is rhyming with 1930s Germany or other authoritative regimes since then.

you can still access any thought you want due to our permissive free speech laws. you just cant run the app if you're china
“You can still access any thought you want due to our permissive free speech laws. You just can’t sell this book if you’re Ray Bradbury”
analogy completely misses the point which is that there is no impact on what anyone is allowed to say

Social media can’t sleep in beds or other places, it doesn’t have a body.

Actually it’s more like preventing your wife to talk to other men, just in case. We know what the world thinks about these kinds of husbands…

Social media doesn’t sleep anywhere but the ccp does and they are currently staying rent-free in the minds of millions of Americans.
