This is a key example of the paradox of tolerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance)
Saying we should tolerate the influence of a totalitarian state over a major communication platform (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/21/more-americans-are-getting-news-on-tiktok-bucking-the-trend-on-other-social-media-sites/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/21/more-americ...) in the name of the First Amendment and democratic values is setting up our democracy to be weakened and fragmented even more than it already is.
We already know that domestically-controlled networks like Facebook directly contributed to electing a demagogue President who tried to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. We'd be morons to accept the same thing but under the influence of an autocratic country which has clear intentions to erode American influence and power.
