      The concern isn’t the input, it’s the potential output. Temu doesn’t have the potential to be used for a large micro-targeted political messaging campaign.

          Murdoch is an American citizen.

          Murdoch became a naturalized US citizen in the 80’s so that he could comply with US laws about foreign nationals owning media entities.
