Can only think the feds regret not banning it long before anyone had heard of it. Suspect any new pretenders will not be so lucky.
Edit to add: “and veto the hiring of any executive involved with leading TikTok US data security organization” - this is dangerously close to saying the quiet bit out loud.
- JimtheCoder 3y ago"Can only think the feds regret not banning it long before anyone had heard of it" But if no one has heard of it, then no one would be using it. Why would you ban something that no one is using...
- fidotron 3y agoBecause we follow a Rules Based Order and our Rules apply fairly to all market participants.
- JimtheCoder 3y agoAnd the rule that Tik Tok is clearly breaking is what? Being Chinese?
- fidotron 3y agoNot being owned by us. I wish this was merely a facetious response as opposed to the literal version of what the rule actually is.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Not being owned by us. We’d be fine if Bytedance were European, Australian, Japanese or even Indian. This is a problem with Russia and China, belligerent autocracies with whom our chances of near-term military confrontation is elevated.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> And the rule that Tik Tok is clearly breaking is what? Being Chinese? Being indistinguishable from state owned / CCP controlled at a time of fraying diplomatic relationships and heightening military tensions with China.
- CamperBob2 3y agoYes, and the first and most important of those rules -- the rule that more than any other sets us apart from totalitarian states like China -- begins with the phrase "Congress shall make no law."
- mrguyorama 3y ago>“and veto the hiring of any executive involved with leading TikTok US data security organization” Actually, all that does is allow the US gov the same level of control of tiktok that the CCP does.
