    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.

    This is arguably more akin to how the US handles TV and radio. There are national security restrictions on foreign ownership.

        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.
