It's not banning media from a country though, it's banning an app that is country run and can select specific media to show you.

If you believe the NSA has less to say about Meta's data than CPC has to say about TikTok's data, then I got an old bridge for sale.

Per the HN Guidelines:

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

It is quite unnecessary to hear you call everyone you disagree with uneducated or similar.
