  why was it flagged? seems relevant to HN community.
  • ryanmccullagh 6y ago
    Not sure, maybe Dang knows?
  • detaro 6y ago
    Probably because there already is a thread about it? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461) EDIT: and a submission of the commerce department statement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515540 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515540

      Thanks, that must be it. dang: feel free to remove this thread if it doesn't add to the discussion. (would be great if the FT link in the other story has no paywall...)

  It’s a dupe of this larger thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24515461

    That headline only says TikTok. It's a pretty big deal to ban both TikTok AND WeChat
    • mc32 6y ago
      The body of the story talks about both.

      Seems like WeChat should be the headline, that's a much bigger impact. Many Americans use it exclusively to communicate with Chinese relatives.
