Wonder how fast they’ll drop the TikTok ban if China bans e.g. iPhones

@karora Apple has been the #1 selling phone brand in China for a while with 25% or so market share

@thomasfuchs isn't it the case that Android is the primary mobile OS in Asia already? iPhones are for rich countries, and are kind of pointless without all the rest of the Apple ecosystem.

@rcpierce they ban social media because as an authoritarian country they censor the internet—at least they’re not pretending

@thomasfuchs This is not support of the ban, but it is worth noting China already does ban plenty of American social media and more.

@rcpierce I think it’s blatantly unconstitutional

@thomasfuchs For sure. I guess my point is that further bans by China may not affect much. I am sure first amendment organizations are chomping at the bit to go after KOSA and TikTok bans
