If you take Huawei and TikTok, would you make the same argument? Why trust the govt just in select cases?

Those concerns were about government control on speech, in that case, a foreign government.

How did you reach this conclusion? Was it with the help of the same govt that you'd rather not trust?

1. Speech rights (or any rights) stand on their own, they're not predicated on trust or distrust.

2. The corporate structure of those companies is information that is available from sources other than the US government.

TikTok didn't end up being banned and Huawei was much more about national security when a foreign adversary controls information infrastructure (5G.) You are making a false equivalence.

When Trump was trying to ban Chinese TikTok because he didn't like the young users making fun of him I supported TikTok.

You have to realize that your government uses anti-American feelings to push their propaganda.

A lot of Indians trust Twitter more than Modi, especially non-Hindus.

Twitter wasn't censoring the content the Indian government has introduced new laws to compel them to censor

I don't care what they were or weren't censoring. Twitter and other social media giants are trying to become the arbiters of truth in this world and control much of the flow of information over the internet. A foreign entity with no responsibilities, checks or even connection to the local people should not have such power imo. I look at twitter censoring or promoting pro/anti govt. hashtags/accounts as election meddling. So I'm happy that they're forced to have an accountable local presence.
