They havent banned the homegrown brainwashing apps - why start now?

Foreign brainwashing apps are too but for other governments. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
- grotorea 3y agoForeign semi-hostile brainwashing apps do seem a lot easier to ban.
- jocaal 3y agoYou can easily access the chinese version of tiktok and from what I've seen, douyin has exactly the same garbage as tiktok. These apps aren't hostile for national security reasons. They are hostile for monetary reasons.
