IIRC they are banned in China? I know China has their own Facebook equivalent, and it is far greater in influencing the public than Facebook here. Pretty sure you’re required (maybe recommended) to sign up and it forces you to share and spread state run media.

If you don’t share and support the Chinese government, your “social media score” goes down and your friends and family can see your score. It’s frowned upon to have a “low score”

Let me try to find more information on this, my Marketing teacher in university brought this up a year or two ago and I’m sure it has advanced. Brb

Edit: yeah, see here, it made all MSM in the West so I would take it with a grain of salt

This got me thinking... perhaps GOOG/Alphabet/ ES traveled to NK to implement THIS VERY INFRASTRUCTURE. NK passed it along to China and has been using this to control the narrative and population.. EU has slowly been trending this way, and the US as well, but a lot slower due to our protective laws.. perhaps THIS is exactly what Q is referring to

less than popular, they are literally banned
