For the people who have advocated fruitlessly for years for the US to have any substantial data privacy law, it has to feel like gaslighting to see the country's national security apparatus finally focus on what TikTok collects and then conclude the answer is to ban that one app.
@kevincollier TBH the issue with privacy laws in the first place is that realistically the government has to take a nuaced consideration of how the technology actually works to best ensure the laws make sense.
