    Yet nobody cares about US companies like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube manipulating public opinion with their algorithms.

      This isnt the point.

      An adverserial nation shouldnt be able to influence public opinion like that.

      We all understand that those companies do nefarious things. Imo its quite a bit different when its a whole ass country purposefully manipulating public opinion and they dont like the united states.

        I get it, i don’t want to live in China but i don’t want to live in whatever Elon Musk has planned for the US, either, and his wealth gives him undue influence over… pretty much everything. You’re not convincing me you’ve got a consistent take here if you’re cool with Twitter but not TikTok.
