I bet China would be happy to help. It also cracks me up that people on this site were almost entirely in favor of a TikTok ban, but when it’s someone else’s government doing what amounts to the same thing then they’re “heading down a dark path”.

I've heard that for 15 years straight, they went for adult content RealID before going for VPNs - which, if your beliefs end up being true - was a ridiculous order of priority. Thus, I don't think they'll go for VPNs.
If you believe X advocates free speech, you have an imperfect view of X or free speech. Maybe they made your political speech more permissible, but they are clamping down hard on other speech.
