You can really tell who controls CNNs leash from this story.
And frankly, the law Biden signed to ban TikTok could apply to a lot of foreign social media apps and they’re not preemptively banning any of those. Just the one Americans are using right now. National security threat indeed.
I know the law allows the president to add more sites sithout further legislation; could they force the major app stores to remove XHS?
I think that’s the only play they have without revealing their hand.
But that’ll just lead to pissed off Americans figuring out en masse how to sideload apps which is even more problematic if your goal is controlling content.
In bad country the government censors social media.
some perverse part of me hopes that the refugess keep jumping from on chinese platform onto another to force them to block each and prove that there is indeed a great american firewall.
Please TikTokkers: could you please flock to Facebook to get Facebook banned?
Facebook is one of the state-approved social media sites. Zuck bends the knee to Trump.
This wouldn’t be an issue if they passed a digital bill of rights that applied to all social media.
