This is a sinophobic media war conflating several ideas: 1. Games, social media, or other personal apps on government devices is a terrible idea. They shouldn't be there to begin with. 2. Making a big deal of banning them from US government devices is a symbolic anti-China move. 3. Banning US consumers from using a particular transnational app. How exactly would that be enforced? How would it not run afoul of the 1st a.? Will the US gov get into the business of banning apps, books, games, and any particular media it doesn't approve of because it didn't happen to originate in America? 4. Forcing a transnational app to either move its data to the US or sell to a US owner. Russia did this and now they're an international pariah. How exactly does this square with laissez-faire free trade?
