Which country has closer values to your country? US or China? Take the parents comment above and turn it from binary into a spectrum using this metric.

As far as colonialism and imperialism goes, you're right that the Dutch has closer values to the US.

And I'm an American, speaking as an American. If you want to ban Facebook and Tiktok in the Netherlands over these issues, it's totally fine by me. I have no love for any social network.

I actually had a thought in the back of my mind that the outlook may be different in other countries, but I didn't write it down. Especially since American companies have a tendency to pursue their own agendas, even against the American government.
