I've been keeping an eye out on a couple of court cases. The one involving the tiktok ban has my interests peaked. They're saying it's because the app allows people to say things that sow doubt in the government or make it easy to still data from its users.

 

Could that also lead to other sites they feel leaks misinformation or doesn't speak all positive about the government being banned? I wonder if it could eventually include other sites such as the news channels or even JW, since we look to God's government.

Interesting thought.

Remember Russia? And why it banned JW.org?

If the US decides to go that route, especially during GT, that will just be another weapon they would use to attack our faith.

 

I could definitely see this happening during the attack of Gog of Magog. At that time, all bets will be off.

Adding a point

Here's the trouble with looking at current events and trying to see if they fit the bigger picture of what leads to the Great Tribulation: things can make a 180 turn within seconds in this current political environment. The world governments and the UN could be on one track, and then, in a few years, make a sudden change that will astonish everyone who sees it.
I mean, when the governments submit their authority to the UN for the sake of the UN destroying false religion, they're going to be doing the thing Jehovah wants them to do. Do you think that's what Satan, the current ruler and influencer of political affairs wants? No. He'll do everything in his power and influence world events in such a way as to prevent Jehovah from imposing his will upon world leaders. He could very well be trying to prevent Revelation 17 from being fulfilled with events he's influencing right now, so when it happens, it should be a sudden change from the course the world is currently on.
