Almost all of the people behind the ban have no problem with Facebook or other companies engaging in the exact behavior that TikTok is. They just don't like that it's ByteDance doing it.
If you have problems with TikTok's action, pass a general law that mandates privacy protections, rather than targeting a specific company based on the nationality of its incorporation.
- asow92 3y agoI'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and raise a problem with that: Meta is under US jurisdiction and Chinese owned companies are not. We have no way to enforce our laws if our data passes through their networks. We see time and again that the Chinese have a complete and utter disrespect for our intellectual property laws, so why would they respect our privacy laws?
- chimeracoder 3y ago> Meta is under US jurisdiction and Chinese owned companies are not. Where does this meme come from? It's so prevalent despite being obviously and verifiably factually incorrect!
- asow92 3y agoCould you provide a single example to qualify your claim?
- rchaud 3y agoTiktok is distributed exclusively through US-controlled app stores. If they've broken the law, tell the app stores to remove the app. Problem solved.
- asow92 3y agoI concede that I'm grateful that we have option at our discretion. Hopefully such a law would make that compulsory.
