China doesn't have any problem executing suspected spies without trial, does that mean the US should too? The US has a constitution that gives people rights; the government can't just do whatever it wants. Regardless of your personal opinion on TikTok it doesn't change that it's a product used and loved by millions of Americans, and banning it has a meaningful negative impact on them.
- webninja 3y agoThat escalated quickly. The topic above isn’t about espionage (which also have penalties in the US), it’s about what type of regulations the government should place on foreign social media companies like TikTok or unfortunately in this case, against it’s own citizens that use them. You might see wonderful flowers, rainbows, and ads for friendship bracelets while another person might see death, destruction, conspiracy theories, and ads for food prepping. Selective targeting is a power that politician have wanted for many decades. That was last available through Facebook Ads and became controversial years later with Cambridge Analytica. On one hand, TikTok might be powerful enough to change the outcome of elections in more countries than just the US. On the other hand, access to information is generally a good thing and you want people to be knowledgeable and to make more informed decisions.
