Well, do you want to be like China in that regard?
Yes clearly the way you know you are always doing the morally correct thing is to sink to the level of the everyone else.
And by everyone else you mean one country known for authoritarian censorship
What I meant was a general operating principle, not to take a side in a pissing match.
The standard is good behavior, not other people. Pointing out that X country is doing something wrong does not mean every country gets to do that wrong thing. The alternative to this viewpoint is one where we are effectively or actually extinct from an escalating cycles of violence and a race to the moral bottom.
See I thought you meant the exact opposite and thought "damn that's dumb, that person is being dumb, I should be snarky"
No worries, should have been more clear. Have a good day.
USA is not banning tiktok, it's banning china's ownership of tiktok. If Chinese stake is sold to someone else, tiktok will remain.
