A not unreasonable question to ask and explore could be whether or not countries such as Australia, Canada etc. should be blocking wechat. If it's a tool of the Chinese state to directly surveil users and to deliver content to manipulate political ideologies of users, should it be tolerated? I mean, it's one thing to have foreign nations taking advantage of open platforms to influence segments of the domestic populations, but it's another thing to have an entire platform controlled by a foreign nation and used by them to surveil and influence a segment of the domestic population.
