Why do you want our social media to mirror China? That’s the real question.

I want Chinese companies face exactly the same hurdles in the west as western companies face in China. Applies to all economic branches, not just social media.

Oh yeah, fund our allies genocides! Yay! 🥳

In what way is taking a platform away from millions of Americans an acceptable way to do that? Yes, our taxes are funding a genocide and instead of listening to the droves of people protesting that they suddenly all get together and magically agree to ban tiktok. They can't agree to feed school children but still agreed to ban TikTok. The fact that you see it as retaliation is also hilarious because that's supposed to be illegal and they're still claiming that's not why they're doing it. Even you see through that bullshit on accident

Everything I said was relevant to my point. You linked the wiki to whataboutism and still used it wrong lmaooooo.
