My working hypothesis is that some of the people considering this ban are thinking about it logically but with the erroneous idea that China is the China of 40 years ago and they the United States is the United States of 40 years ago.
- remarkEon 4y agoI think many supportive of a ban are thinking the United States is the United States of 100 years ago, not 40. The United States of the early 20th century wouldn't have tolerated any of this. Teddy would've broken up all Big Tech and banned TikTok without breaking a sweat, and simply sneered at the detractors before going on another safari. Unfortunately, this America no longer exists.
