Agreed. And it's not only improper for American elected officials to tell other people around the world what is right and wrong. It goes from improper to humiliating when the American elected official is just doing PR for a company. (1/2)
american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship.
