OK but again to be clear, you're opposed to the bill?
China bad for blocking insta. USA good for blocking Tiktok. Its consistent when you are a dog for the state department
Also consistent when you remember tit for tat bans are bloody common in the world.
And sorta the point of modern caparilistic politics.
You stop our nations companies selling to your citizens and we will do the same here. Lets face it. If any gov refuses to do so. Its rather disrespectful to their companies.
The fact that each nation uses the spying excuse. When China is as likely doing it for control of its citizens and profit restriction. Just like the US.
Lets face it. No 9ne sane thinks these types of apps are not spying. Just weather the respective governments have access to the data. And let's face it. If you think either dose not. Beach front property in land locked areas for sale etc.
It really just points them all as hypocrits.
PS not American. But my nation is no better. And I am in no way saying any nation is atm. Or at least any nation with any power on the world stage.
