    Yeah, if the government really cared, they would be pushing privacy laws instead of trying to ban a platform.

      that platform is being banned because there are very limited privacy laws and the platform doesn’t even comply with those. all theyhad to do is start a US front company with a data center, host all collected user data there and deny all data center access to the foreign parent company.
