Do you have any proof that the Chinese government played a role in his campaign? Because the 2016 United States election was possibly influenced by disinformation campaigns on Facebook, yet there is no ban and Zuck is taking an even more lax approach to moderation than Tiktok.
I understand that, but, you can run that campaign on Instagram, Twitter, or wherever your target audience is, right?
