Republican Sen. Josh Hawley is calling for a TikTok ban.

This is a day after another Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio, published an OpEd in Fox News also pushing for a ban.

To be sure, these Republicans care very little about TikTok's surveillance of users.

Their problem is that, unlike Meta or Twitter, TikTok is not an American company.

Nevertheless, I personally think surveillance capitalism should be banned wholesale on all social networks.
