Ah well that makes sense then

It really doesn't. Banning Tiktok is banning certain types of speech. Same goes for Twitter/X and Meta. It's like banning a book because it was heavily influenced by an adversary country.

Brazilians and Europeans should be very angry about doing anything that resembles banning speech.

I didn't mean it makes sense as in I agree. I meant, 'oh, a lot of this is going on and it fits in'
