In other words: Russia to ban Meta.
What is the gameplan here if he was to cross into Poland... a Twitter ban?. It's war. Name calling and a bit of pushing and shoving isn't going to work you either do nothing or put boots on the ground.
I really do think Facebook has the power to put boots on the ground; do they have a private army we don't know about? companies and civilians can only do so much its down the government and militaries on the West to lead us.
nice.
