A dictator could also decide the best thing to do is to mercilessly torture you to set an example so society behaves. Better to harm one individual than many, after all. They might even weep for your suffering but will still go through with it.

It sure is a coincidence that parties in opposition to right wing political movements in different countries keep getting silenced on Meta.

It gives the appearance that Meta is not an impartial platform like they try to claim for regulatory purposes.

If Instagram is not a platform but instead an arbiter of speech they should be held legally liable what is said on the platform.

As long as the state maintains power and control with the threat of violence I don’t see a world where your average citizen has the same quality of life as the billionaire class simply because the wealthy have more power and influence.

If I want to influence policy I need to get a lot of like minded people via grassroots means to have enough say to get my direct elected representatives to consider a policy. If the billionaire class wants to influence policy they will talk about it with elected officials over golf.

Worst case scenario the wealthy can spend money to gain foreign citizenship and move. Your average citizen is mostly stuck with whatever government and laws exist in their current country.

> I don't understand why the ban cannot come into effect immediately.

This is the default in Californias constitution:

> Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subdivision [Article 4, section 8], a statute enacted at a regular session shall go into effect on January 1 next following a 90-day period from the date of enactment of the statute.

There are additional legislative hurdles to enact legislation faster than that.
