Banning TikTok because of their Chinese connection is extremely dumb policy.

This is basically the Russian model of internet regulation: OUR propaganda is fine, but not those *foreign* people.

It's just nationalism.

And hasn't that turned out great for us all?*

They do some nasty stuff, just like Facebook, YouTube, Google, X/Twitter, Instagram, etc...

Ban THAT if you want, not who's allowed to do it.
