So TikTok gets banned in the US for abstract potential influence on topics related to China and most Americans sign off on it.

Twitter is being actively manipulated by a person who has expressed interest in the elimination of the independence of Canada and people think this is an overreaction??



TikTok is secretly manipulated by the CCP, and requires US based executives to sign oaths to uphold their propaganda:

Twitter is not being “actively manipulated”. It is probably the least manipulated platform, considering the extreme censorship that was normalized on Twitter, facebook, reddit, etc. Twitter is the closest to neutral and free speech. So yes this is an overreaction.


Sometimes I really wonder what reality people live in...

Elon musk quite literally bans topics and terms that he doesn't like on a whim.

There's a rather lengthy account of all it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_under_Elon_Musk

Even if we buy into the premises that Elon doesn't manipulate Twitter, he actively posts about removal of Canada's sovereignty.

If the CEO of ByteDance was actively posting TikToks saying he is so excited for the US to be China's new province what would the US do?
