I get why they did it, but it's disappointing to have congress decide what software we're allowed to use. I wonder if China or other countries will do the same

- autoexec 3y agoThe Great Firewall of China was a horrible idea when they did it. We don't need to make the same mistake in the US.
- Buttons840 3y agoIf TikTok users start connecting directly to servers in China via tiktok.com (or whatever), I predict the US will move towards a national firewall as well.
- LordKeren 3y agoChina has banned innumerable pieces of software. They banned YouTube more than a decade ago
- viscanti 3y ago> I wonder if China or other countries will do the same for US apps now. China has been doing this for a very long time, to keep US apps out of the Chinese market (or forced IP transfers to Chinese companies) so that Chinese apps can thrive. There's no room for them to retaliate because they've already gone as far as they possibly could.
- junon 3y agoThey literally already do, I'm not sure what rock people have been living under but whenever I read comments like this it feels like misinformation campaign material given how common knowledge it is that China regulates foreign apps, internet traffic, and data.
