With the goal of driving them out of the US?

I just typed https://www.baidu.com into my browser bar, hit enter, and their page loaded.

Why throw out something hackable? Apparently they couldn't hack TikTok so they thrown them out.

They probably could, but it's become such a pain in the ass, it's no longer worth it.

You can still go to the mobile web version; but that doesn't give the same level of access to devices and data that an app does.
