I know how much attention the Aus social media ban has gotten internationally, so PLEASE you gotta be following Cam and Crikey's work here --->>>

The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.
