The American government, even today, simply does not have comparable cooperation with private companies. If Facebook and Twitter decide one day that they’ll no longer permit people to post mean things about American political leaders, a policy that is at least routine and I think universal in China, I think it would be a no-brainer for Europe to ban them. (Even if they release a special global version of the app that they promise isn’t subject to domestic censorship rules.)
