Censorship is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I don't see why banning Facebook in China makes banning TikTok in the US good. It's like saying:
White people are discriminated against in China, so we should discriminate against Chinese people in the US.
- flappyeagle 4y agoSometimes two wrongs don't make a right. Sometimes you fight fire with fire. We can all pull aphorisms out of our butts to support our side of the argument.
- staticman2 4y agoI'm not sure if banning foreign businesses is "censorship". But if you insist on calling money "speech" and banning foreign businesses "censorship" then it turns out, under your very broad definitions, censorship is sometimes a very good thing! Your argument amounts to word games.
- himinlomax 4y agoTikTok is not being banned because of what they say, they're being banned for what they are. Ergo it's not censorship. Same thing when RT was banned across Western Europe. It's not what they were saying that was banned, it's what they are: an arm of the Russian government. Russian shills are still free to peddle their propaganda.
