    Well, there’s a law to block it, and our intelligence agencies are pretty secretive, so there’s a good chance the proof exists.

    I’m against banning it, not because I don’t think China is manipulating the algorithm (they probably are), but because I believe banning it is a violation of the 1st amendment. I refuse to use it, but I also refuse to ban others from using it.

      That’s the problem though. Under that reasoning they can shut down any social media app. There’s specifically a catch all in the definition to do this so they don’t have to pass another law.
