Think about who is being restricted here, because it's not just TikTok. Why are you ok with the government dictating which apps you can and cannot install?

- eatsyourtacos 4y ago>Why are you ok with the government dictating which apps you can and cannot install? Well, whether you agree with this statement or not. If an adversarial government is basically controlling what information people see.. especially young impressionable people who might not know any better, isn't that potentially a problem that needs to be addressed? Sounds like the government should have a say when it's literally trying to protect it's own interests and doesn't want a foreign power being able to so easily push their own agenda.
- nickthegreek 4y agoThen pass a law that applies to all social media companies algorithms if it is so important to protect your citizens from whatever issue you see. So far, no one has been able to point to TikTok doing something horrible. I mean, we have more actual examples of malfeasance from basically every other social media company.

It’s as easy as saying “counties on this new human rights blacklist do not have the right to access our markets and the minds of our citizens.”
