    Yes, tiktok wad absolutely the worst, but it speaks very loudly that the US doesn’t hold other companies to the same standard

      They hold every social media company to the same equal stands. Facebook, twitter, google, bluesky, and tiktok are all equally forbidden from operating while chinese.

      This is in no way targeted, like not even a little bit… honest

      Actually, when they banned TikTok they also made it illegal for any country to send American data to any adversarial country including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

      In fact, TikTok could just sell to an American Owner at this very moment and continue operating. They didn’t sell, though. Because they don’t operate for profit. They operate for gain as a hostile foreign military asset.

        I’ll take “the conclusion doesn’t follow from the premises at all” for 500 Alex
