    Non-tarrif counter measures are a thing. And you can really be as creative as you want there.

    Do what the Chinese do and introduce a law where 51% of a foreign multinational must be locally owned and operated.

    Force the break-up of large corps through anti-trust action.

    Minimum pricing rules on posts and / or account creation.

    Prohibitions of phones in schools.

    Updated data protection laws banning the collection and sale of personal data and applying copyright law protections. Allow individuals to sell their data if they choose to.

    Introduce laws that categorize ‘trending’ and algorithmic manipulation as ‘editorialising’ and regulate the behaviour as you would any other media.
