Chris TrottierYes, I think TikTok should be banned.
I also think Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, and Reddit should be banned.
Anything that requires surveillance capitalism should be banned.
HistoPol (#HP) 🏴 🇺🇸 🏴Yes, and at least with regard to #Facebook, this IMO should be the death knell in a country with real rule of law; the leaks are just unbelievable:

Voron@atomicpoet @HistoPol upholding “the rule of law” in this country is almost immoral at this point, I rather try to uphold justice when it happens to intersect with the law…but just banner wave for the rule of law when laws are so unjust and enforcement so brutal, nope screw that
This was not keyed to the #US but to all nations.
With a #SCOTUS hijacked by the ultraright, and without a #Supreme13 jurisprudence reform, I don't see this happening.
A minimal consensus *might* be the foreign, antagonistic threat, #TikTok, though...If #BigSocial isn't lobbying against it, as they could be next.
@atomicpoet @HistoPol big social is lobbying for the TikTok ban meta has been vocally so in the halls of congress (they want that market share)
@atomicpoet @HistoPol Maybe in other countries but the U.S. congress a big American social media company would be like cats banning tuna
@HistoPol @atomicpoet meta spent 20 million on political lobbying last year and made 2 million in political donations (that we know off) the u.s. congress ain’t voting to do squat to meta
