    Well, before you declare anti-China posturing, have you considered how China treats Western social media companies? They are completely banned.

      His thought process was on so many levels that he gave himself a phobia of heights.

          Perhaps, but not when you’re supposed to be the bastion of free speech. And while there is the aspect of this being about domestic neerdowells not getting their beaks wet. There’s plenty speech suppression involved as well. I think the stunt ticktok pulled in this case backfired spectacularly. It had been lurking in the background for a while. But it seems they felt urgency after that.

          I’d still have a problem with this even if they shut down sites like stormfront as well. But at least that would be consistently wrong. Not hypocritically wrong.
