The only reason this is bannable is that it is owned by china essentially; based on national security grounds. As long as the fediverse is never sold to an enemy nation, there’s nothing to worry about.

Definitely, definitely correct. A company that’s owned by a foreign nation shouldn’t be a problem. And if you think that this doesn’t set a precedent for banning anything politicians don’t like, then I feel sorry for your naivety.
There’s no national security basis to ban social media from the US or a friendly country. It would be protected by the first amendment otherwise. They have actual evidence that China was using TikTok as electronic warfare, which is the only reason they can ban it.
It’s odd you seem to have more faith in China than in the US. Personally, while my trust in my country is low, it is infinitely higher than my trust in China.

The US has control of US tiktok servers. This is bannable because politicians want the power to control social media.
Not true. That’s why the banning has a clause allowing for the sale of the US portion to a US (or other allied) company.

I’m baffled by your blind faith in politicians. There’s been clear foreign influence on just about every major social media platform.

Sounds very much like you’re telling me that if I have nothing to hide, I have nothing to fear.
