nednobbins,

Maybe. China probably has more official channels to interact with Bytedance but we have hard evidence that the US does the same thing.

FOIA provided a lot of insight into various clandestine interactions between US government agencies and private companies. There are a bunch of NGOs that get almost all of their funding from the US.

We also just reauthorized warrantless wiretapping.

The bigger issue is that Meta doesn’t really care. Nobody needs to force them to conform when they can just pay them. As far as Zuckerberg is concerned USD spends just as well as RMB.
