It's made to counter US propaganda. In fact, any nation that doesn't protect their information 'borders' are candy for US 3 letter agencies and their manipulation of their peoples information/values.
Have a firewall or succumb to US manipulation of your citizens. It's that easy, so no wonder US have created the 'bad bad firewall' sentiment.
Oc people can't rely on their governments only (especially in the West), so we must also have an information firewall that can reject pure propaganda nonsense before it reaches us. Moving from Reddit to Lemmy was a small step in that direction.
Federation clearly was an error, as it weakens the information borders.
