    • This is basically the USA caving to China's view of the world where every country chooses to ban certain apps and websites based on politics.yuekit
    • Didn't China ban our socials?

    • @yuekit, You could make that argument if china didn't have it both ways. Plus, do you want 'China's view of the world' to control the algorithm?hotroddy
    • if you're advocating for standing up against authoritarianism, it's contradictory to oppose Musk's anti-authoritarian gov't stance (brazil, australia, etc)hotroddy
    • USA isn't prohibiting tiktok from operating unlike FB in China.hotroddy
    • There isn't actually any evidence I've seen that TikTok is spreading China's view of the world. It's all just theoretical hysteria by boomer politicians.yuekit

    • And Elon Musk is not really a supporter of free speech unfortunately. Look at how he got the Texas attorney general to investigate Media Matters after theyyuekit
    • criticized him. He's also very servile towards China for obvious reasons, so his public opposition to the TikTok ban should probably be seen in that light.yuekit
    • The idea Musk is anti-authoritarian is hilarious and you'd have to be pretty stupid to believe it.i_monk
    • Yeah think about it... he supports Ron DeSantis... Bolsonaro.. and the CCP!yuekit
