The premise is not that, it’s that the Chinese government can influence the content that the US population is exposed to. For fucks sake, US politicians are campaigning on a platform that the CCP can manipulate.

If we claim that the web page collects too much data and is a national security threat, then doesn't that same argument apply to all of the millions of web pages out there? Or do we just skip all pretense and start strengthening the national firewall?
