TikTok sues the US government over ban - Lemmy.ca

> TikTok is taking the US government to court.

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.
So Americans having access to American’s Data is bad but you think China having access to American’s Data is good?
No, they’re both bad.

Alright, thank you for clarifying that you want more restrictions and laws against these companies, it just seemed odd for you to bring up those other businesses in a post talking about the TikTok forced sale and resulting lawsuit.

I’m just happy about them restricting US Citizen data being brokered to adversarial nations including Iran, Russia, China, and others.

I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn’t be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.
So you’re simultaneously against the TikTok ban but also worried about the lack of privacy for American Citizens?
I can’t tell which of the two of us you are referring to.
