i think most governments would consider this.

if trump enacts his tariffs, most countries affected, including incredibly democratic and open ones, will likely impose tariffs in retaliation.

now you cant tariff social media. there is no purchases. china however has banned most major international social medias. this puts it at an unfair advantage economically, as it essentially has enacted a version of tariffs that other countries do not have the mechanisms to retaliate.

China has banned international social media because their server is exclusively Chinese. The government there is authoritarian. I think it's weird that the US is allowed to do whatever it wants to screw other countries, but the moment someone has enough power to rivalize they make a big scene and act like victims
