- jacquesm 4y agoThat I can get behind, but for now it looks like 'The West' doesn't mind sharing data with each other as long as it is the users doing it themselves. The only country that takes a more aggressive stance on this is Germany and even in Germany Facebook works just fine. But a German company that deals with sensitive data should not send that data overseas without ensuring that this does not get them in trouble with the German privacy authority.

- di456 4y agoThe right solution becomes more clear when the right problem is understood. Banning TikTok just means the same problems continue to exist domestically. Meta, InQTel/CIA, et.al just consolidate their power and eliminate the competition. Pandora's box is open and social media, AI, adtech ain't going back into the box. Regulate it evenly across the board.
