    What difference does it make if it is CCP or Zuck? They have same interests, same way of thinking, same goals. They are no better nor worse. These fearmongering of China is mostly there to hide the horrible things and influences they do. Have we already forgotten the Cambridge Analytic scandal? That is some actual political manipulation right there, not some teoretical CCP issue, which we all agree is also an issue. But this bias obvious.

      Cambridge Analytics? You’re comparing this to something like the Uyghur genocide?

      While there are similarities, there is one key difference between them. The CCP wants to dismantle America so they can be the world’s superpower.

      Does Zuck want to invade Taiwan? No. Does Zuck openly kill groups of people that he doesn’t like? No, at least not openly. Does Zuck care about border disputes between China and India and the south China seas?

      No. The only thing they have in common is greed. Both want money, but only one can invade a country.

        Facebook works with the intelligence agencies that coup governments, kill and kidnap people and make up lies to start wars in Iran. They work with the US government that openly funds a genocide in Gaza. Yes Chinese government is no worse the the US government and them being a superpower is just as bad as US.

          Again. Our government is not perfect. We should not give them a free pass. But it’s still our government. Not the CCPs.

          Why do you feel that the CCP is ok influencing our government?

            I don’t think anyone should be influencing our government, neither rich US citizens nor the CCP. I am simply stating that there is more in common between US billioners and CCP then between us and the blillioners. The country of their origin means nothing at all, they have the same interests and we shouldn’t help either of them fight each other for complete domination of our media. If you can’t get rid of all of them at the same time, better to keep them in balance of power so people can hear critisizm on both platforms of each other, instead of giving the single group all the power and united in destroying us.

              I am not fighting you about having nobody influencing our government. I’m just saying we should be doing this in baby steps. Let’s start by stopping the CCP, then work on our internal problems.
