China bad whirrrrrrrrr.
If con-gress was serious, theyd ban/restrict any social media that relied on tracking. Or better yet, they'd pass a bill restricting data brokers of any sort ala GDPR.
Nope. China bad. USA good!
- LoganDark 3y agoI agree data brokering of any kind should be completely illegal. I don't think tiktok is only being banned because of china though. I just think it's a bonus compared to bytedance legitimately being a malicious data-harvesting nightmare that also happens to own one of the most mentally damaging social networks of the decade
- adhamsalama 3y agoBut Meta/Google isn't?
- frankharv 3y agoIs Meta and Google even allowed in Communist China? Why would we reciprocate on a Communist plot against our children?
- aaomidi 3y agoRed scare all over again
- frankharv 3y agoLets ignore the red scare comments. Would China allow an American social media company to capture 75% of their children?
- aaomidi 3y agoChina is not the US. If the point of fighting our enemies is to become our enemy, then why bother fighting? How do you think countries like Iran, North Korea, etc justify censorship of western content? That exact line is used.
- LoganDark 3y agoNever said anything of the sort.
- Shocka1 3y agoThis is funny, but sadly true... I just told someone yesterday if lawmakers truly cared about all of this they'd ban all social media. Lobbyists and lawmakers will be eating well until then.
