The operatives in China's social manipulation groups are laughing while reading this thread because you all are doing their work for free.
I don't think you guys understand here how important a bill like this is, and how much of a threat China is to us. This bill could be modified to restrict its usage more, and that would be good, but at the end of the day we must take action against the fact that China has such a massive social and cultural entry point into our culture, because China has spent the last 10 decades ensuring that they are protected from any social exchange from us to them.
They will use that tool against us. It is not a matter of if, it's a matter of when, and it's probably already happening.
Do not hand our people's minds to a country that would destroy us. Pay attention to what Russia was able to do with nothing but a couple of troll farms. China won't just have that, they'll have the entire platform and the algorithm which determines everything you see every day.
I hear you, and at the same time I know nothing good comes out of government interfering with internet. Another 10 years and they will ban news websites with "fake news about war", as Russia did in 2022
Luckily I live in a small country now and shouldn't care much about us politics
sure fb and instagram are better or even vine was better. onlyfans? beautiful app definitly lifting people out of poverty.
I remember the trump days. the same democrats pushing for a ban where calling trump racist for his anti-china policies. what a 180 from all our enlightened benefactors and democrats thinkers
This isn't about lifting people out of poverty or the quality of the other apps. There are very big systemic problems that still need to be solved with regulations on American applications.
This is about making sure an enemy state doesn't have a little window to half the people in the country, with the ability to exert total control on what they see every day.
