Since the Soviet government restricted the flow of information via "official" sources (e.g., Pravda), microwave radios were in demand. Families would huddle around them to listen to the Voice of America station. On low volume, of course.
We already know for a fact - thanks to Elon Musk and the "Twitter files" - that our government tried to restrict distribution of some of the non-sanctioned views. Now there's a proposed legislation called the RESTRICT Act that will protect us from Tik-Tok and give the government pretty broad powers over what we can do online. I'm sure it's for our own good.
