About 59% of Americans say TikTok a threat to the national security of the United States, according to a new survey of U.S. adults.

There are bigger fires to throw yourself upon in defence of free speech than a Chinese Spyware app.
Which is why I don’t defend it. I merely point out the irony and hypocrisy of those we elect to run our government for us. I’d much sooner spend time trying to rid our government of authoritarian wanna bees and advocates. I think I am good just simply choosing not to use it and washing my hands of the whole matter altogether.
Yeah, don’t have accounts for Tiktok, Twitter, or Instagram. Not installing their apps any time soon. It’s more privacy laws that need updating that is allowing these type of data collection to exist in the first place. So it’s the laws that need changing if these politicians truly cared about how invasive these apps can be as opposed it really just being about only wanting their domestic apps to be the ones collecting data.
Privacy laws are only as good as the amount they’re enforced.
Yeah and the penalties are so trivial it’s nothing but a business expense.
It’s not hypocrisy. There’s no obligation to treat companies or people outside of the US the same as in the US. National security is a different beast all together.
