Yeah, the government loves to be the only one that can brain rot their (loved that you used the possessive pronoun!) society.

When did the US citizens become so subservient to their government? I thought distrusting the government was American tradition?

I think we as Europeans would do better if we actually defended against Russia's hybrid warfare.

I understand all these principled stances and I do support them ethically, but sometimes you have no choice but to choose the lesser evil.

Technically speaking, they did in 1789. As to the practicality of it, the US government expanded massively from 1900-1950, so maybe during that time period. The FCC was formed in 1972, so on the issue of permissible purveyors of brain rot, maybe then.
