      I agree with you, but that’s a Meta scandal. If anything it proves that the right move would be to regulate the platforms. Not just ban foreign ones.

        Oh yes, I agree! I provided an example of a TikTok campaign in a later comment. It’s not the source that’s the problem, it’s that everyone is trying to manipulate (but the ones controlling the platform have way more feedback and control, of course).

          Can you provide any evidence that china is influencing political opinions in a way which would be unique to using a Chinese app? Or are you just fear mongering and talking out your ass?

              Is this your way of conceding that you in fact have no evidence and you’re talking out your ass? Because if so, show some grace and humility and just say it, instead of acting like a teenager.

                Why do you have to be so angry and offended and why do you have to pretend you were given no evidence when i provided two examples? I didn’t say your mom was a nosy manipulative control freak, I said the Chinese government was!

                Oh,… wait…

                  I asked for specific examples of how a Chinese app would impact Americans and you linked two pieces of vague bullshit not directly related in any way to China.
