- somenameforme 3y agoIt isn't one company. It's a bill granting the government tremendous power to ban near arbitrary content from 'foreign adversaries.' TikTok will be the first, but not the last. You can read the bill here. [1] Similarly, the Great Firewall of China did not start with a bill to defacto ban all foreign content. It started with this paragraph: --- Individuals are prohibited from using the Internet to: harm national security; disclose state secrets; or injure the interests of the state or society. Users are prohibited from using the Internet to create, replicate, retrieve, or transmit information that incites resistance to the PRC Constitution, laws, or administrative regulations; promoting the overthrow of the government or socialist system; undermining national unification; distorting the truth, spreading rumors, or destroying social order; or providing sexually suggestive material or encouraging gambling, violence, or murder. Users are prohibited from engaging in activities that harm the security of computer information networks and from using networks or changing network resources without prior approval. --- [1] - https://d1dth6e84htgma.cloudfront.net/TIKTOK_xml_a8572d67bb.pdf https://d1dth6e84htgma.cloudfront.net/TIKTOK_xml_a8572d67bb....
