      Yeah I’m not so sure. It’s a pretty popular platform. Going after something popular during the election season isn’t generally considered a good thing. There’s a lot wrong with it too but that alone has left a pretty sour taste in hundred million Americans.

        IMO the ban is very much a broken clock (is right twice a day) sorta situation. I would have prefered the reason being that its mentally toxic, lowering peoples attention span, and promoting misinfromation. On social media it should be a given that you are being spied on, by the private sector, public sector or both. I feel like they just got their congressional panties in a knot because it was China doing the spying instead of some US based alphabet soup agency.
