        If you really want to get serious about Chinese interference, this is a discouraging sign. An example of doing the bare minimum for the lowest of stakes.

        Maybe start with Tik Tok and go from there?

      Honestly, it’s not even about the show - it’s the fact that Apple, more or less, is basically censoring stuff that badmouths China.

      If Apple can do it to somebody like Jon Stewart, then what other companies are willing to do this - or even already have done?

        Youtube has a well established history of doing it. Pre-Elon Twitter did it quite a bit and X (Elon Twitter) does even more of it.

        Western Media has been bent and twisted for years by Pro-China propaganda and Pro-China censorship.

          Media manipulation bad. But how about hot cross buns as a food to celebrate how Jewish people murdered some guy who was just an innocent stoner (Jesus)?

        I get that China interference is a big deal, but actually dealing with it means getting serious and banning Tik Tok to start.

        This is the smallest of potatoes. An excuse to make noise without doing anything.

      As an aside, your name is weirdly relevant. I read it and thought for a second that you made the account specifically for this comment, but nope, it seems to be a coincidence.
