Probably has less to do with our security and more to do with selling the data to foreign companies instead.

They don't data collect data points in Europe like they do in the United States. US laws allow it.

Google is banned in China. Seems like a fair Tit for Tat...

Why would I care about TikTok gathering my data? What possible value could that data have? Oh, this person like cute animal videos and falls for the occasional thirst trap.

TikTok is that good that Big tech had to lobby so it gets banned. Pathetic.

I'm thoroughly convinced the Chinese use the TikTok algorithm to amplify stuff like this in the USA:

And there is no way they let them do that in China.

They already do, like China. Also most other countries just buy that data from them.

Just get rid of all social media. Reddit included for all I care. It's all garbage.

Not to mention the mental health issues it’s created in our younger generations. The difference I felt after deleting tik tok was insane. Please ban it

I think TIkTOK has got it right in terms of entertainment, but because of the nation that controls it, yes it should go!...or be vastly tightened up.

I wish I had a dollar for every headline that talked about a "possible" TikTok ban.

Hey, you’re the one advocating a curated world where you only see what you want shown to you, so.

I think this bill is a slippery slope. If approved it seems to lay the groundwork to dismantle the first amendment
