I think you’re missing the point that these programs are now indescribably powerful for swaying social sentiment. They can be made into weapons of mass disruption. Of course you and I want the internet to be completely open, but the world has changed drastically since the early days and bad actors have created software that gives them huge amounts of power. It’s utterly irresponsible not to regulate such a thing.
- raydev 3y agoThat's not what's happening, though. We are banning one app because of its origin country, not because of any principled reasoning on the app's contents. If for some reason TikTok actually disappears, Meta's apps are still there and there will be plenty of money flowing into a new competitor with similar UX.
