    I never said that zuckerberg isn’t also doing the same thing. There should be a lot more security over our internet data, China we have many reasons to remove their platforms from the US. the Local companies need to be reined in by the government as well.

      How about you create robust legislation about data collection instead of banning one app in particular because you don’t like the colour of the owners?

        Lol that’s way more work than the US is able to handle at the moment. I’ll take imperfect decisions now rather than hypothetical perfect decisions in the future. Also, you’re the one bringing up racism.

          I am bringing up racism, as so much of the support for this ban is racially motivated. The Republicans have been using sinophobia as a wedge to whip its own base into a “yellow peril” frenzy, with COVID being the real catalyst.

          This isn’t an imperfect, but well meaning decision. It’s xenophobia mixed with American social media oligarch protectionism.
