>why can't they similarly disagree with software import restrictions? It's easier to verify what a borderless, open algorithm does. It's a lot harder to do that with packaged software. Has TikTok posted the source of their app publicly the same as those borderless and open algorithms? Can we verify what we install is the same as that posted source with no changes? You can ban finished products without banning their constituent parts. American companies probably do many of the things that Tiktok does, but this is political and that's where the unfairness comes from.
