    Let’s face it, the goal was never privacy or security. The killer clowns in charge of US regime are simply upset that there’s a popular social media platform they don’t control. This is about bullying China into selling this platform to US oligarchs. It’s sad and pathetic, and it’s not going to happen.

      China chill? The legitimate concern is that China is controlling the way certain messages are pushed (“the algorithms”) to control topics that they have an interest in. I.e. pushing misinformation to drive support for Trump or Biden, as an example. That is not free speech or privacy, that is malicious interference and the the fear of the US doing this is the sole reason China has already banned similar US apps in China. That is also the reason they would rather be banned than to “give up the algorithms” (they certainly won’t allow anyone to see how they push misinformation).

        One party scares you dumb people into believing Russia interferes with your elections, the other scares you into thinking China interferes. Meanwhile, all the interference is going on within USA by white house and Congress terrorists.

        The reasons China banned US platforms is not the same as ones US is using to do vice versa.
