    Meanwhile China says no American internet sites in their country and I guess that’s ok for some reason.

      Censorship is bad when China does it. Censorship is bad when America does it.

      Same for Germany, Australia, Japan, North and South Korea.

      Governments don’t censor speech because they protect their citizens, they censor speech because it protects their monopoly on violence and help propagate their visions to an unquestioning audience.

      It’s not ok that the CCP block foreign apps either. Now that the yanks are blocking Chinese apps they can’t complain about the CCP blocking theirs.

      It’s ok because USA is doing it too. Every state, every politician is basically the same. It’s all about violent control of the planet. These apps are just the tip of the iceberg.
