Having an adversary control the psychological inputs to half of your population (including a majority of the youth) is clearly a bad idea. I actually commend congress for taking this action, no matter the rhetoric.

US steel is a separate issue that also probably shouldn’t be sold, but at least with Japan there’s some reciprocity in access to markets.

But Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and YouTube controlling The Youth™ of THE ENTIRE WORLD is clearly OK.

No, it's not. Nobody said that. Stop screaming nonsense so that someone will argue with you.

Because the US government doesn't have effectively total control over those companies the way China has over Bytedance. Is that not apparent to you?

Probably because they’re from the US and care about their own problems first? Not really surprising TBH

Normal adults can care about more than one thing at a time and it is not mandatory or necessary to talk about every problem every time.

Why aren't you screaming about the various genocides and wars? Why aren't you screaming about every single injustice in the world all the time?
