Putting the data concerns aside, the way China blocks countless American apps and yet at the same time basically gets free rein to compete in America with similar apps is a free trade violation and anticompetitive. It doesn’t make sense to allow from an economic standpoint.
- sschueller 2y agoI thought you all wanted to live in a free democracy? China is not one, so why do we have to do what China does? Dealing with the underlying data collection and privacy issues that all the others also have would be what should be done. Instead we are going to this fascist spiral of banning everything.
- op00to 2y agoPlease explain how requiring domestic ownership of a company in a single case is a facist spiral of banning everything.
- mint2 2y agoYou say democracy but clearly mean libertarian dreamland. No we all do not want to live in a libertarian dreamland. My definition of free democracy doesn’t mean being forced to act like a chump. You want to do business in America, then we do business on equal grounds in your country. Per the rules set by our duly elected representatives, aka how a representative democracy is supposed to work. Democracy doesn’t mean a libertarian free for all. Democratic countries can and should make fair trade agreement to ensure the will of the people is carried out per their votes and elected representatives.
