Can't you argue that stifling speech is as bad as all out forbidding it? And if it's about CCP ownership and control, I guess we should probably institute a ban on relying on China for anything at all, including building all of the cell phones kids watch TikTok from. Interesting how the narrative is that social media can only be a thing if it's controlled by an entity that the US government can effectively bully into violating our privacy domestically. This doesn't strike you as a plain old case of common xenophobia, does it? Citizens in the US will mock other countries for censoring the internet, but this doesn't strike me as all that different from that.
