I bet it looks the same for Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, except replacing China with US.

Yep. US: NOOOO WE CAN'T ALLOW CHINA TO KNOW WHAT VIDEOS OUR KIDS ARE WATCHING AND GET METRICS ON THEM THAT'S A BREACH OF PRIVACY THINK OF THE CHILDRENNNNNN

Also US: Google and Apple and Microsoft and Amazon and all of these great, awesome companies that give us tons of money and access to their secret data do the same thing with our children? This is fine.
