TikTok ban: Vinod Khosla calls on Senate to pass bill
- hulitu 3y ago> TikTok ban: Vinod Khosla calls on Senate to pass bill Of course TikTok are amateurs that's why they don't deserve to be in that market. Palantir, on the other hand, only processes personal information from half of Europe. /s
- sschueller 3y agoPalantir is the one that should be banned globally.
- andy99 3y agoIt's a dumb conversation, governments shouldn't and don't have the power to "ban" software. Who cares if people think it's bad. I think tiktok is almost certainly net detrimental to society. Tough luck, so are many things, that's not how government powers have been granted.
- ekanes 3y agoPerhaps, but society has decided that the more something is addictive, the more the government should interfere to protect people from themselves. See: Gambling, cigarettes. We have causative proof that this is both addicting and harmful (and often affects kids disproportionally) which may mean it merits more controls.
- wumeow 3y agoThese guys are correct: The Tiktok bill is essentially section 310 of the Communications Act of 1934 but for apps. It’s actually quite sensible.

Why ban the single most influential propaganda Trojan horse when you can have it for yourself.
