The problem isn’t that they want to ban Tik Tok, it’s that they completely ignore ever other questionable app. Let’s make laws that address both data harvesting as well as platforms that use misinformation to manipulate large groups of people in exchange for money. We already know Facebook has been guilty of this but as an American company they can offer campaign donations to make politicians forget the problem. Sigh.
Absolutely. Is apps using addictive based systems to hook people in and then harvest their data aggressively to turn around and sell it to groups who use that data however they want an issue?
It sure feels like it should be. And if it is then it should be an issue of any app doing so.
But it’s keeping the wheels on this economic disaster of a ride. So only the ones that don’t pay directly back into the country letting this run full scale without restrictions because of small kickbacks, aren’t ok?
It becomes abhorrently two-faced. And it should be apparent by now that the wealth generated by these American companies are not actually being shared with the American government or people. But getting to be close to it and get small feedings from them is enough to appease our geriatric/out of touch ruling class.

I’ll give you one guess as to which company has lobbied for this bill.
