That said it is mildly amusing that Trump is going to use a common Chinese tactic of banning its citizens from doing something in the Internet to block a Chinese app.
Yeah I'm using the iOS 14 beta and it shows you when something is pasted from the clipboard. It wasn't always nefarious. The Canada Post app checks the clipboard to see if you have a tracking number copied.
