If tiktok should be banned then I would demand Instagram, YouTube and Facebook also be banned as their "heating" button is under the control of US companies and their coorperate interests.
This from a European perspective. "Propaganda apps" in control by foreign governments and companies that may not align with European ideals and values.
- photonbeam 4y agoGo make an app with a heating button under EU control please
- sschueller 4y agoI am just making the point that banning tiktok is not the solution to the problem that the US now has because a foreign entity runs the most popular app when it wasn't the case before.
- fsociety 4y agoSure, you make a good point if you ignore the political ideology in US vs. China and the fact that all the social media apps you just listed are banned in China.

- bioemerl 4y agoIt's a fair take, but I wouldn't be as worried because there are a lot more guards and protections for American companies, and America is broadly and ally of Europe. I wouldn't worry if there was a European company with a button that made things more popular, as an American. I would probably worry about EU law regulating what is allowed to be said or not though.
