It's the paradox of tolerance. How do you tolerate a platform that doesn't conform to your idea of tolerance? How do you distinguish that censorship from, say, Marvel rewriting Doctor Strange to remove Tibet?

I agree with the idea behind the paradox of tolerance, I just find the idea of this being only applied to a chinese-owned company because of things china does somewhat hilarious. America does much worse so its clearly not about morals or anything like that. I really wish that the discussion would more outwardly become "we're banning tiktok because China is our competitor in international geopolitics" so we can all move on with our lives and stop having these dumb discussions.

it is the paradox of those who do not think and think that all things are the same and therefore that a terrorist in america is the same as one in egypt, one in tibet, one in hongkong and one in china, I am not here to explain all these things if you try to change the subject at the moment I don't have time, if you want to talk about something else ok, but I don't have time someone else will answer you, if you talk about other similar things, these things are not the same thing, one sanctioning by means of a ban on a company that censors is not the same as censorship itself. as the incarceration of a person carrying out kidnapping is not the same thing.

At least as right and wrong are not the same for most people at least. And even if in some countries right and wrong are reversed, don't believe that even those who live there don't realize it.
