That's one way to spread the message to the world that you've given up on freedom and democracy. It's as if TikTok is a monster that eats the brains of our children, and the problem they have with it is that the wrong person is holding its leash.

Well yes they want an American company to do it instead.

Or they don't want the tool of specifically the CCP.

Doubt they'd accept a Venezuelan one either.

Nation doesn't want major social media site controlled by the enemy. More shocking news at 11.

I prefer our Canadian news. "This man paid for his healthcare. What went wrong?" Actual line.

Of course it does, don't know why you think I don't.

I am not advocating for the "alternatives" (i.e. Instagram and the likes), however I think banning a Chinese PSYOP indoctrinating a whole generation with far-right ideas can only be positive for society. Hopefully the EU does something similar.

They aren't just targeting the far-right and they are not just spreading far-right lies. There's misinformation for everybody and of every color on that platform.
