I would be really interested in how someone could spin advocating for less moderation and at the same time asking to ban the competitors' social media platforms.
- GuinansEyebrows 2y agoyou’re assuming some kind of ideologically purity when it comes to “freedom of information” when the real answer is profit motive.
- zahlman 2y agoIt's not about the users of that competing platform, but about the country where the parent company is registered (https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/24/tech/tiktok-douyin-bytedance-china-intl-hnk/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/24/tech/tiktok-douyin-bytedance-...).
- pbasista 2y ago> the country where the parent company is registered Ok. But then, if the country of the platform's owner is the issue, why only ban TikTok? And leave other Chinese social media platforms unaffected? In other words, how is e.g. RedNote safer from foreign influence than TikTok?
