- dado3212 3y agoAdmittedly TikTok is China-owned, and China already bans multiple U.S. based social media companies.
- al_borland 3y agoHasn't China been doing that for years?

- abdullahkhalids 3y agoA number of countries already ban specific social media sites, including US based social media sites. In many cases, the core issue is that the country wants foreign social media sites to obey local laws and instructions on what to ban. And if the social media site refuses, it is just wholesale banned. Leaving aside whether this is good or bad, I do foresee a world in which there is diversity in the number of social media sites, and their usage divided along country lines.

- Manchit 3y agoYes, the Pandora's box is opened. We no longer have the moral authority to blame other countries banning US apps or companies.

- asadotzler 3y agoNo, they already do and don't need our examples to follow. You don't read much, do you.
