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?

As far as I'm aware China hasn't been making any noise about annexing my country, so I guess I do see a difference.

Must be nice to not live in Taiwan I guess.
