Yeah. Suppose Big Bad Chinese TikTok were banned in USA. What is stopping someone from ripping a compilation of TikToks and uploading them to YouTube? How is that any different?
It's good that TikTok is bringing attention to this issue but don't let anyone tell you for a second that it is the sole problem.

- bjacobso 2y agoI don't think the TikTok ban is an adjudication of the TikTok scrolling behavior or addictive feedback loop. It's an adjudication on the idea that a company that controls those technologies could be help accountable by the United States. I think the current US stance is: we are allowing the crop dusting of american high schools with digital heroine, however, we demand the right to potentially regulate it in the future. A Chinese owned TikTok sits outside that potential regulation where a Facebook or YouTube exists within that potential regulation. China themselves ban TikTok for kids, and only have an educational version available.
