- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoAbsolutely. What a sham.
- exe34 2y agoNow do it the other way round - open up the Chinese market to American companies instead of controlling/banning them!
- swatcoder 2y agoWhether or not one believes it to be either warranted or sound, this is a ultimately a national security concern not an economic one. Many people see much hotter conflict with China on the horizon and TikTok in its current form presents a greater risk of letting an adversary manipulate messaging during that conflict than its major competitors do. That's a strategic threat. Fair and constructive debate can be had as to whether banning it aligns with free speech ideology, whether a conflict is really coming, whether TikTok is really a vector for adversarial manipulation, etc -- but when you don't engage with the apparent and rather straightforward rationale for a ban, you just inject chaos into the discussion and complicate the work of those who might make legitimate arguments against it.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoA "Free Market" is a sham concept. Noam Chomsky laid this out very clearly.
- literallycancer 2y agoTankie opinions are completely irrelevant to the functioning of the market.
