Thank goodness! I don’t know how anyone thinks this isn’t a good idea for America.

- carstenhag 2y agoNot sure if sarcastic or not, I'll bite. If tiktok infringes some kind of data privacy laws, punish them. If the data privacy laws of the US are bad, improve them. But this? Just because some... not so bright soldiers use tiktok to upload videos of their base? What else is there so bad it requires a total ban? It seems like hypocrisy to me, when Meta, Google, X also have similar data available and also don't want to adhere to for example EU laws.
- pr337h4m 2y agoDo you think a Great Firewall of America is a good thing? Because that is what this ruling enables.
- misiti3780 2y agoDo you think TikToc is a net positive for the world or the US?
- yibg 2y agoIsn't that the same argument used by China for why the GFW is needed? The US allows all sorts of things that can be argued as net negative (e.g. smoking).
- yyhhsj0521 2y agoIt is not. But not banning it for geopolitical reasons is a net positive for everyone.
- jMyles 2y agoIt is a net negative. Attempts at intervention by legacy states over the evolution of the internet (which will obviously fail on sufficiently long time-scales) are also a net negative. Two net negatives do not make a net positive.
- ritcgab 2y agoMarket intervention through administrative measures is never a good thing for any country.
- lugu 2y agoI am wondering why, can you develop?
- ritcgab 2y agoIf you don't know why, you don't need to know why.
- kirkbackus 2y agoIn this case, the necessity of this law is proof that American companies are incapable of producing an app that can compete with Tiktok.
- lugu 2y agoWhat do you talk about? TikTok is ban because it is nocive and can be leveraged by an adversarial force. The answer to your enemy poisoning you, isn't poisoning yourself.
