The U.S would not put trade barriers to China for that incident in India (why India doesn't join U.S's sanctions on Russia now?) or for putting muslims in camps.

Although not being the same thing I've seen children put in cages against their will on U.S soil so I'm pretty sure it could stomach some reeducation camps in China given the terrorism issues.

U.S bombed Iraq unprovoked.

Here we have the old money and power game. U.S finally realised that it fed a communist state that has imperialist ideas and may challenge its power in Asia.

I would like this rivality to produce a more fair system for the world: secure devices, secure communication, open protocols with privacy built in etc instead of these appstores bans, obfuscation and demonization of the "enemy".



I think we should prohibit the state owned social media app which is mass collecting biometric markers for a state which is actively rounding up Muslims and putting them in camps.

I think if you want to petition for good things in other areas, that's great, but please don't stop the people currently doing good now with whataboutism.


It's no whataboutism. You make a big fuss about tiktok but meta owned apps are just as bad. The Muslim camps is just a laughable pretext. If the U.S would care so much about poor muslims, especially muslim women around the world they would not have left Afghanistan in such a hurry...

As far as I'm concered I would ban all these spyware apps, chinese and american alike. They are pure spyware and bad for our health and for democracy.

People should own their data, and their devices.

I'm glad that TikTok is chinese. It raises some important questions about appstores, privacy and data ownership.


Ok, let's start with banning tik tok.


Why just tiktok when we can ban them all?
