Yeah, so prepare for battle between people who want to tell you that their empire is better.

Americans complaining about other countries meddling in their affairs is such a hilarious hypocrisy. You guys have been the worst for ruining other countries around the world.

This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:

If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.

Disclaimer: I am not saying Tiktok is a great app with zero issues. This is a concern about causing long term problems by using a short term easy solution.

As someone who dropped TikTok around 3 years ago, the next month or two are going to be very amusing.

In this house, we only like propaganda that's covering up genocide. /s

It wasn't. There's zero proof of this currently.

The app is banned because congress can't control. They want you using the platforms where you can't become class or politically aware.

They should force TikTok to be sold to the Taiwan government.
