Well what i see is a popular app the government doesn’t have control over, that is their problem with it. They want to have multipal back-doors for the intelligence agencies plus the right to censor anything they don’t like.
You talking about the Chinese or American government.
With the Chinese government, you don’t get any choice.
With the American government, there may be choices, but, the constitution is still there offering many protections. What protections are available with the Chinese government?
