- budududuroiu 2y agoAs it should. This might sound insensitive, but we’re drifting back to an era of realpolitik in geopolitics. Facebook fanning the flames of a genocide in Myanmar has little effect on US citizens, TikTok does.
- Golden_Wind123 2y agoI also seem to think Facebook fanning the flames of an insurrection is a greater threat than whatever dubious vaguely defined impact TikTok has had.
- budududuroiu 2y agoYou can hold Facebook legally accountable in the US (whether you will or not is another question). You can’t hold TikTok legally accountable.
- ramblenode 2y ago> You can’t hold TikTok legally accountable. Sure you can. You follow the law or you are banned from doing business. This law just skipped the first part because the authors didn't want to write any actual regulations.
- budududuroiu 2y agoWhy wait until TikTok breaks the law to ban them? Banning an app after it’s been used for nefarious reasons to either spread propaganda or incite chaos in the upcoming elections is too late. It’s like saying “let’s not patch a zero day we found because no one has abused it”. TikTok being owner by Bytedance means you don’t have who to prosecute for misdeeds, besides some fall guy.
- b-side 2y agoInteresting that you think breaking the laws is justification for banning a Platform. I wonder how the US would feel about the EU banning every last US tech company for the plethora of violations.
- budududuroiu 2y agoLast I checked the EU and US are not in the pre- stages of hot war.
- fragmede 2y agowe're not? we're spinning up production of 150mm shells and other pre stages from my pov
- budududuroiu 2y agoAre you trolling?
- BeFlatXIII 2y agoAre you?
- fragmede 2y agoI'm not. from my POV, we are spinning up the economy for war. we're already in world War III, we're just waiting for someone to officially declare it.
- budududuroiu 2y agoUS defence spending is still below its 2010s level. Besides, you mentioned EU banning US apps. Last I checked, with some exceptions, all EU nations are in NATO, and directly procure weapons from the US. It’s absurd to compare banning a Chinese-owned app to EU banning US apps.
- bjourne 2y agoThat is false. Companies can be held legally accountable in the US regardless of whether they are owned by Americans or not.
