I don’t understand why things like design are being discussed or debated. All these countries are wasting time on minor things instead of just doing what is needed, which is an outright ban. So far, only India has got this right.
All Chinese linked social media apps should be banned due to risks to user privacy, national security, and lack of reciprocal market access. This ban should also apply to apps headquartered outside of China (like the US or EU) that have leadership with Chinese citizenry (not ethnicity but nationality). In the case of TikTok, divestment is not enough to guarantee anything - after all they allegedly lied under oath about where US data is stored:

So what will divestment accomplish? What if key leaders or employees can be influenced or blackmailed by the CCP to do unethical things like sharing data or running algorithmic propaganda campaigns or whatever?
