The Tiktok ban revealed three thing about the United States.

The Tiktok ban revealed three things about the the United States.

1. They don't care about free speech
2. They don't care about free trade
3. They care about passing any laws the help their citizens

And that is why they are banning Tiktok.Tiktok is a platform that completely contradicts US propaganda with the truth. Also Tiktok is able to compete and beat out companies such as Meta, Youtube, Amazon and even Google. And that is why they are able to move quickly not because it's the will of the people but because corporations as well as lobbies are telling them to pass this bill.

Those were already revealed a long time ago.

The US government wants to ban tiktok because of free speech, I want to ban tiktok to get rid of my girlfriend developing brain rot from spending 8 hours a day on it, we are not the same

the tiktok 'ban' isn't actually a ban as it could be sold to a non chinese government entity that has to abide by regulations. the chinese government using it to spy on people is a bridge too far.

obviously no social media should be allowed to be as intrusive as they are, but tiktok is demonstrably worse in that regard with no oversight outside of a malicious foreign actor.

TikTok and the truth in one sentence is wild to read

Since 2020, TikTok executives have repeatedly tried to reassure people that Chinese staff cannot access the data of non-Chinese users.

But in 2022, ByteDance admitted that several of its Beijing-based employees did access the data of at least two journalists in the US and UK to track their locations and check whether they were meeting TikTok employees suspected of leaking information to the media.
