Would you consider it acceptable to ban these kinds of apps if we were in military conflict with these countries just as we were in conflict against Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan?

> it's all lip service to get their competition killed unfairly

I think that you'd have a point here if we were talking about a country that allowed their citizens unfettered access American social media apps but China does not do that.

If seems foolish to play by a set of rules that the other side does not. This isn't competition in a normal sense.

no because if there was ever real armed conflict, the list of higher priority action items would make this app banning nonsense look exactly as silly as it actually is today
