Cons
Con Self-censored
In a way because social platforms show you what seems most relevant to you, you may end up not seeing things that are important; a kind of self-censoring.
Con Actively repress 1st amendment rights of americans despite being an american company
Violations of our highest laws is not acceptable behavior.
Con Known cases of censoring
Facebook had cases of censoring content, pro Conservative US party for example.
Con Will censor and ban you if you post anything that goes against government approved narrative
Even if you are posting truth and facts.
Con Cannot use with VPN
Because Blokada works by using an internal VPN to act as a filter, it is not possible to use Blokada if you're using an actual VPN.
