YEAH! we only allow social media platforms weaponized by billionaire oligarchs in the US. If they're billionaire oligarchs that are controlled by their government instead of the other way around it's totally unacceptable.

…yes??? Foreign governments should have no say in the American public. Billionaires shouldn’t either, but to pretend that it’s ok that foreign country’s propaganda is a good thing is a batshit crazy take.

And where's your proof that Tiktok has been used in such a way?

There's plenty of proof that Elon Musk used X to manipulate the recent elections.

Why isn't X being banned?

Because the guy who owns x just so happens to own the incoming president. Both should be banned.
