Good. The ban is censorship dressed up as national security.

TikTok is state sponsored spyware dressed up as fUnNy ViDeOs

And Facebook isn’t?

Shit I forgot the us government owns 50% of Facebook

Access to the data it’s what matters, ownership is just one method of access.

If this were true, it wouldn’t matter that the US set up the social security number system, because Experian leaked millions of Americans’ SSNs.

It obviously matters who owns a service that millions of citizens use from a country that is a political rival. You’re just hoping to shut down any conversation against TikTok with a whataboutism

We’re talking about individuals’ personal data stored by social media companies being accessible to others (governments, in this case). This has nothing to do with social security.

The problem is that the data is accessable, but that’s not being addressed. This is an improper fix to an actual problem, just facts.

Turns out analogies aren’t your strong suit

It’s a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone’s data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.

The ownership part was how it was analogous. That was pretty obvious. Any time a massive system is set up for millions of people to use, it quite obviously matters who set it up and why.

I just love when Internet randos pretend not to get analogies because I’m, gasp, comparing things which aren’t identical.

In any case, sorry to interrupt your stream of 15 second video clips.

Lol

What is the social security system was run by China?

That’s your great analogy. This is a social media company. Gtfoh
