Here is how I imagine their playbook working
(we are here) Phase 1: Associate any Application that is NOT the main controlled one as Harboring "HATE GROUPS". Even though everyone knows Facebook, Gmail and Twitter were all used by the same groups, ignore that, and have the non-main applications banned.
Phase 2: Websites. Ask nicely of all browsers to BLOCK access to certain websites, (e.g. poal)... (Fire Fuck is already looking into this btw).
Phase 3: Require all ISP's to ban "HATE" platforms... which are not on a certain list. Laws will be in place that would hold the citizen accountable for attempting to access these. They would most likely tie them into current CP laws as one bundle. Moving anyone who tries to access them into requiring VPN services.
Phase 4: Like China, you are now only allowed to access a select list of pre-approved applications and services that are heavily monitored by the US Government and at some point.
Phase 5: These websites slowly roll out a "verification requirement" that requires you to upload your real identification with your account. Thus tying everything to you, in one neat little package.
(This is where we will end up before the end of the Biden admin).
With this in place, "all the cows are in one cage". They can create profiles on you very easily, like the government. "Internal leaks" would "accidently" happen, which would expose (modified) conversations between people of the opposition (look at what reddit did to users), thus giving them a career death sentence.
At some point there will be ZERO thought against anything that is not pre-approved allowed to be written on any of the remaining platforms.
