Surely this argument applies to every other country in the world and the allowing or otherwise of facebook, twitter, and so on?

- Workaccount2 4y agoYour argument hinges on the US government and Chinese government being equivalent. In the US you can take the government to court and actually win.
- bnjms 4y agoWhat is the reason we’re given for banning TikTok? Is it just “China scares us”? Because that’s what it looks like. And that feels like it’s against western ideals. Maybe it’s “tit off tat” setting similar boundaries as what Western companies have to follow in China. That makes sense but I’ve not heard it packed that way. Also our own social media companies are mostly unpopular right now.

There's no clear separation between corporate structure and party there. If it's in China's interest to influence our youth through TikTok they will do so.
