I wish we would, but on the other hand, not being a totalitarian regime is kind of the reason why it's better here. Damned if you you, damned if you don't.
Protecting citizens' interests is not totalitarian.
If it was about protecting citizens interests, PRISM would have been declared illegal and disbanded, not hushed and expanded.
PRISM is European?

Read the whole comment chain again. The other guy said 'it should be ok for Europeans to ban US social media'. I said 'do it'. And they then replied about totalitarianism.
So the mention of PRISM confused me because I was talking about EU countries banning facebook and Instagram to protect their citizens.
