      Well yeah, but it’s the US government which hasn’t ever done anything problematic before. I’m sure it’s for everyone’s best interest. /S

      Which if that were true, still wouldn’t matter.

        Im assuming your point is that if the us government does 1 bad thing, every move it makes is bad? If not, what is your point?

      Imagine using being unfathomably addicted to trusting an app parented and developed in a country where you can’t criticize your leaders.

        Imagine trusting an app owned by billionaires that just paid off the government to remove their competition.

        You’re an idiot if you trust any social media platform at this point.

              Fair point that it hasn’t been rescinded, but I’m struggling to find any convictions based on this law or citations of this law ever being used in court, so it really does not seem relevant nowadays. If anyone can dig up any and reference them here, I’ll gladly edit this comment to reflect that information.

              There are laws from 1700s that haven’t been rescinded but also bear no relevance to the modern day. California just changed old legal language stating that marriage was defined as being between a man and woman, but gay marriage has been legal for a long time now.

            Brother, that is still the laws on the books. Age does not matter. Do you really not understand that? Do you think laws expire? Did you choose to not understand? What’s your deal? You live inside your own nightmare.

            Got no more retort? Did you change your mind or just decide to stop thinking about it to save your precious idea of your country.

              Still responding 3 days later, my comments must have cut deep lol. I replied to PyroNeurosis cause I actually cared for their reply, and then moved on to other discussions on this platform more meaningful than your retorts.

        Thankfully, that doesn’t apply to us using the app because the Chinese government doesn’t govern us.

        Meanwhile, the US government absolutely influences the flow of information on US hosted social media sites, so uh, let’s be upset at all of them regardless of location!
