Good point.

If they sell the platform to an American company, it wouldn't be Chinese owned. and CHina is (currently) a socialist leaning country, once sold to an American company, it's gonna be more capitalist focused then it already was. idk why people miss that.

I wasn't calling it a free market. I did acknowledge that their were limits of what people could see or say. However, when it comes to out right bans of a website or app, compared to other countries the u.s is the last to ban anything in a direct way. Like, it might fine a website to it's bankrupsy if it violate's specific laws, but it won't typically ban any.

Red note must be real famous now, if Nbc news is covering it. It's almost like they banned Tiktok for nothing because now there is another one emerging. They should just not ban Tiktok. Rednote might even be worse than Tiktok for those concerned because the revolt will just grow if the government blocks something deemed a national security threat.

In the u.s it's not illegal to use a platform just because the government doesn't like the country. Because you have free speech, right? Their are certain limits of what you can post and view but the u.s has never banned a website in this direct type of approach before Tiktok. and I just think websites getting banned in the u.s will continue to be rare thing. Piracy sites going bankrupt from copyright infringement cases is a completely different thing then an outright ban.
