to suppress video coming from Gaza and Lebanon? just a guess; but I'd imagine that's at least a part of it.

That and labor organizing, environmental awareness, and many other things where the absence helps the rich get wealthier .

It’s also just a blatant theft; there is a lot of money to be made here however it goes down , and that money goes to connected arseholes

It also broadcasts propaganda disproportionately highly and harmful ideologies as much as that little list of yours.

On its face the platform itself is neither good nor bad, but the massive theft of identifying information, photos, and personal conversations leading to increasingly common hacking and theft from Chinese sources tips the scales a bit.

Because when US politicians advocate for a single, global market, and a single, global internet, it is with the understanding that US firms and allied parties will dominate the space anyway. When that is no longer the case they get about as nervous as the Chinese got when they went and built the Great Firewall and made a clone of every popular western platform. Now that US/Western dominance is seriously challenged, we are seeing more and more signs of protectionism.
