Because TikTok is a Chinese company? There is precedence of American companies not allowed to operate in China. Why pretend to be surprise?
> this is unfair because the US is pursuing its own narrow internal interests in Ukraine
So narrow that Ukraine president decided to come visit to rally support?
- BlueTemplar 4y agoLast I checked, it's not so much that Google wasn't allowed to operate, it's that they didn't want to have to follow the rules (and for good reason) ? Apple (at least) seems to have managed to strike some kind of a deal ?
