Every negative thing about Tiktok is also true about Instagram and Twitter.
TikTok is solely responsible for that AI voice. Instagram and Twitter have never done anything that compares to the pain and suffering that has caused to humanity.
I'm basically indifferent to Instagram (IDK what it's about) and I've hated Twitter since I first learned about its high concept. Twitter makes people stupid.
Except the most relevant part: it is owned by a hostile foreign government.
To be fair, so is League of Legends and every product made by Tencent and their subsidiaries. If they're going to go ahead with a ban, they should at least keep it consistent.
The real question you are asking is whether inaction is worse than inconsistency. Should we not put out a fire unless we can put out all fires? What you are suggesting is to let something burn for the sake of consistency.
I want to avoid "everyone has free speech, but some have more free speech than others" from becoming precedent.
