You completely missed the point of what I was saying. The US government should not ban me from choosing to use a crappy entertainment app. Yes, I realize that an app which is owned by a Chinese company who stores its servers and data in China is governed by Chinese laws. > what is wrong with you guys that you are supporting a totalitarian government? I'm not. I'm just saying that anything short of a blanket ban on an entertainment product is not tantamount to "supporting a totalitarian government". You are missing all of the shades of gray. You can't post to HackerNews without using {a phone, a computer, and internet connection, etc} which provided revenue to a company in China, which according to your logic "supports the totalitarian government". Also there is a philosophy called accelerationism[1] which is the inverse of what you propose, but which may get to the end point (freedom from the CCP) faster than your proposed solution.
