Noam Chomsky argues the United States is a leading terrorist state. Does that mean TikTok is going to take down anything related to US foreign policy? Are regular people not allowed to read or share content created by anyone the US government doesn’t like? Are people not allowed to form their own opinions? What a joke. The “free” democratic west where communication is limited by a handful of large corporate interests…

My criticism of there being a few corporate gatekeepers of communication that are bullied by the government to censor content it doesn’t like is valid. You’re free to believe whatever neocon libertarian nonsense you wish.
I don’t support any government bullying of private companies, although I’m sure any level of consistency would be unfamiliar to people like you. Should TikTok be allowed to control what goes onto their service? That’s a yes or no question.

Do you believe Osama bin Laden has the right to kill civilians, as he claims in his letter?
I believe people should be allowed to form their own opinions about his motives beyond what US government propagandists want the US public to believe.
Contrary to public belief, I don’t think they did it because they hate our freedom. And I think if you do believe that and you also see no problem with platform after platform trying to scrub the document from public view then you’ve got your head on backwards.

If you wanted to prove that consistency wasn't exclusive to me you've done a pretty poor job. Combing through someone's account to avoid a yes or no question is especially pathetic.

TikTok is a private company and your use of their service is not a right.

The government bullying left-leaning foreign governments is chill though, right guys?
No. The US government should stay out of other countries business’. They should even stay out of NATO. But again, I’m sure you don’t have that level of consistency.

Oh this is hilarious. Not only do you confirm that you wouldn't support them doing what they choose to with their service in the absence of government intervention, you would actively support the same government intervention you pretended to be against if it meant you could force them to do something you benefit from.

Do you enjoy living in the free part of world that you can access hacker news, protected by US? you do realize that by fighting communism and dictatorships, sometimes grey areas appear, and lives are lost. Only naive people sees world as black and white. Again, if you don't like it, move to one of those dictatorship countries where there is no freedom of speech.
Yes, if you don't like the US approach to securing freedom and democracy for the free world, go move to a dictatorship. Most of the current free world is enjoying the US's protection.
