Well, the American one doesn't have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.
And even if the only concern was spying, it's like saying "well a creep on the street snapped a nude photo of me through my windows, so I may as well take my own nudes and pass it around the neighbourhood."
Where evidence?
There have been multiple studies that have demonstrated that pro-CCP content outweighs anti-CCP content by at least 3 to 1. Even on profiles that prefer anti-CCP content the pro content still gets suggested at a 3 to 1 ratio.
Surely you'd be willing to share those studies then? Because the only one I've seen was NCRI who didn't make that claim and are hilariously biased.
because no US social media has ever affected an election?
Ah, ok. So we're doing whataboutisms. Got it.
I'll go next: China is pushing its authoritarian influence outside its borders by setting up Chinese police stations in foreign countries like Canada, to put pressure on Chinese abroad from saying or doing anything that would put a negative light on the CCP by threatening harm to family members still living in China.
You're turn.
