Sure, TikTok is terrible in many ways. But the hypocrisy of its critics, especially members of Congress, is almost beyond belief.

The problem with TikTok is the same one we have with countless other Internet products: They are relentless violators of our privacy and security.

Fix that, and you've fixed TikTok.

Democrats are just as bad as Republicans on this. And so is Big Journalism, which mostly just amplifies the lies.

This is a moral panic with a mercantile edge.

@dangillmor They don't like TikTok. But they hate China more. Though TikTok is not a Chinese company. It's investors, employees, data keepers and actual managers are all Americans. It blocks Chinese from using it. Think why Microsoft and Apple can do business in China so successfully? Chinese people and government don't hate the Unites States like that.
