"Pick your poison" has never before, in my life, been so appropriate to cite in a forum discussion. Sometimes one has to make a choice, to pick the frying pan or the fire, but fortunately in this case I don't have to choose TikTok as it, or anything like it, is not a necessity. Unfortunately, we don't have much of a choice in terms of governance, but we do have more of a choice than those in China does.
