I like how this article claims not to be whataboutism, and then proceeds to go "but whatabout american companies" Like I'm on board with the fact that if we're going to be "protecting the privacy of American citizens" we need to protect our privacy from American companies and also the government as well. This article doesn't really make that argument though, it says "(this) won't be solved by putting more data in the hands of US companies" but doesn't make the argument that this is what banning tiktok does.
