    They all suck, yeah. I think banning individual social media services is not the solution. The solution is to create meaningful laws that hold any company, Chinese or American, accountable for data privacy and misinformation/influence violations.

      Funny you say that, because Chinese apps like tiktok can’t ever be compliant with GDPR, and American ones are fully reliant on an executive order where Biden pinky swore to not use the Cloud Act against GDPR.

      That wouldn’t solve the problem because the Chinese government is not bound by US law in China.

    Are you the US government cherry picking privacy concerns to eliminate competitors?

  It’s like having siblings. It’s okay if I call them buttheads, but you’re not allowed to because you’re not family.
