If you take Huawei and TikTok, would you make the same argument? Why trust the govt just in select cases?
- kube-system 5y agoThose concerns were about government control on speech, in that case, a foreign government.
- dmingod666 5y agoHow did you reach this conclusion? Was it with the help of the same govt that you'd rather not trust?
- kube-system 5y ago1. Speech rights (or any rights) stand on their own, they're not predicated on trust or distrust. 2. The corporate structure of those companies is information that is available from sources other than the US government.

You have to realize that your government uses anti-American feelings to push their propaganda. A lot of Indians trust Twitter more than Modi, especially non-Hindus.
- edgyquant 5y agoTikTok didn't end up being banned and Huawei was much more about national security when a foreign adversary controls information infrastructure (5G.) You are making a false equivalence.
