YouTube is run by a company within the USA.

That does not compare to a company run by a hostile dictatorship's military.

Nor has it had nearly the same impact: there was a 10 point shift among youth voters in favor of conservatives after TikTok, a complete reversal of a century old trend.

    Your argument is that TikTok creates a national security risk by directing users to right or alt-right leaning views.

    You are ignoring YT's documented past of doing this exact thing because "China bad".

    YouTube also funneled German users to that same alt-right party.

    As an analogy:

    If an American kills an American it's a crime

    If a Chinese op kills an American it's warfare

    Perhaps stick to killing yourselves instead

    America is already doing more harm to itself than any external nation is, so you don't have to worry if you want it's people to suffer.

    Ah yes, you say we should do multiple times more harm to people who commit self harm, is that your moral philosophy?
