I remember two decades ago when the US was screaming about the “great firewall of China” and how they should open up their internet to companies like Google. What made the US change their mind since then?

They didn’t? The CCP happily allows the export of potentially nefarious internet products, but they still don’t allow the uncensored internet in.

I think in the US we’re basically going to end up doing, while not the exact same thing, something similar. Probably in the name of combating “disinformation.”
