Sucks for Chinese people who are out of the country and want to keep up with their families.

However, if it's really used as a spy tool as much as it's said, then I understand why the ban is necessary.

The company that owns WeChat is Tencent, which also owns all of League of Legends, 80% of Path of Exile, 40% of Epic Games who own Fortnite, etc. etc. so this could have far reaching implications in the electronic space in general.

There’s only like 40 other communication methods available. How will those poor people wanting to talk to their families manage.

I thought social media companies were a monopoly and you can only realistically use the one that everybody is using?

Thanks for admitting that the claims that social media are monopolies is derp.

Wechat is a multi purpose messaging app. Kind of like Viber, Skype, etc not a social media platform.
