As if any of the other social media networks aren't doing the same shit. I'd rather have China spy on me than an American company. They can't use my data to fuck me over.
I mean, yeah they can. Anyone with data on you could fuck you over. In fact, the more data, the easier to fuck you over.
Maybe I should have worded it differently. They're far less likely to fuck me over. I have nothing the Chinese government wants.

China cannot put me in jail. The US can.
I found it interesting that this Tiktok regulation talk hit peak fervor around the time that youths were using tiktok to fully grasp the severity of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile mainstream corporate media was painting a very different and dishonest story of the genocide.
We need broad regulation for social media in the US, not cherry picked fervor for political reasons.
Yet they had the excuse and idiots like op are cheering on their censorship
Actual privacy laws like the Eu? Nah let's just make an american version of the Great Firewall.
That was the catalyst that made them realize they didn't have the sway to control the narrative on tik Tok and that they had to destroy it.
Problem is that insta also had the same content and plenty of folks saw it there too but the focus was on Chinese influence.

Gross to see this kind of disinformation on Lemmy. Too bad freedom and open information lost in a major way. This will be a dark day in history. Nobody benefits except the genociders.
The interest your domestic and foreign corporate social media platforms have in you are VASTLY different. It's naive to equivocate them. Yes, TikTok should get "banned", which will just be pulling the app from the app store and likely still available as a web app maybe through a VPN. They're just going to create more friction in getting access.
Instead of advocating for spyware, perhaps we should be highlighting open alternatives?
Lol @ america being the only non-chinese country in the world
Good luck criticizing a user’s choice of platform hoping to get them to leave. I’m just happy to see one less corporate platform.
