The US is banning TikTok due to fears of interference by the Chinese government. How does this same reasoning not apply to Twitter for every country outside of the US? The US's long history of not interfering in foreign states' politics? (ha)

probably because the US government doesn’t own the majority of Twitter, and US corporate and political governance is still far more trustworthy than the Chinese Communist party.

You really don’t see a difference between the US and China?

Absolutely not. They have different aims and goals, sure, but Republicans lie as often as the Chinese Communist party because everything they say is a lie. US corporations make up lies that aren't even just twisting reality.

The Chinese Communist party is currently worse because it has full control of the state to enact their lies. That is the only difference right now, but Republicans and their corporate allies are working towards that goal.
