I think they should just ban Tiktok everywhere. If an App would be developed in Europe or in the US, it would have no chance against CCP in China, and possibly get copied and offered in China by a Chinese player. The West stance against China is laughable, we can't play democratic games against an autocracy, when we do, it happens what happened with Ukraine, it gets invaded.

The west needs to cut itself off from Chinese manufacturing before it can do anything meaningful, and that's no easy task. Much of the world has spent the last 80 years chasing globalization as the solution to avoiding nuclear war. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long, but that strategy was never going to be sustainable and we're seeing cracks really start to erode these days. To be clear though, China isn't going to invade the US. Invading your neighbor is hard enough, invading another super power on the other side of an ocean is impossible.

  Just kill it by slowing the download speed from tic toc to 56k :) at the isp level.

    I'd really would rather not see the government or ISPs wielding the power of censoring us or companies through backdoor tricks like throttling network access.
